In Good Health: COVID's Summer Surge

If you sank deep into the ocean, where the light no longer reaches, you would see, sitting on the seabed floor, nodules that look just like unassuming rocks.Those grayish clusters are actually filled with vital metals like cobalt, nickel, and copper, which are materials used in the construction of electric cars.Companies and governments are eager to begin deep sea mining for the metals, claiming it would aid in the shift to a greener economy.

We discuss how harmful the extraction of these metals can be and the future of deep-sea mining. Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast.

Many of us have likely felt confused by food labels before. But nutrition facts can offer important information about what we're consuming. There are several efforts underway to make the labels on our food more clear for consumers. Earlier this year, a bill was introduced in California that would change the language around expiration dates from "sell by" or "enjoy by" to "use by" or "best if used by" to minimize confusion.

We discuss food labels; what you like and hate about them, how to read them, and what they may look like in the future. Want to support 1A?
