Ep. 87 – Mining In Ireland with Eddie Mitchell, Save Leitrim
Eddie Mitchell has been a prominent activist in Ireland, contributing to the ban on fracking here and now devoting a lot of his time to extractivism in the country. He’ll also be participating at this year’s Climate Camp in August (9th-12th) which I’d encourage you to go to! Stay up to date with Eddy’s activism by following him on Twitter @WestyEddy.
