The Outlook Podcast ArchiveAvailable for over a year
In 2014, US mother of four LeeAnne Walters discovered that the tap water in her home in Flint Michigan was poisoning her children - her young twins developed rashes, her daughter's hair fell out in clumps, and the water itself was a brownish colour. LeeAnne became a 'water warrior' and led a campaign to expose the toxic water crisis. (Photo credit: Goldman Environmental Prize.)
