b'For years \\u2013 driving on my way to the airport I\\u2019d have to roll up my window as I passed by the Philadelphia energy solutions refinery because of the smell. The refinery is shut down \\u2013 but hazardous benzene fumes still threatened the nearby neighborhood. We\\u2019ll talk about the dangers of benzene and why we should be paying attention with Eric Schaeffer, Executive Director of the Environmental Integrity Project.

For thousands of Philadelphians, the barrier to advancing to life sustaining jobs is reading and math literacy. The City of Philadelphia\\u2019s Office of Children and Families works with community-based organizations to provide adult education to help residents build the skills they need to realize their personal professional and civic goals. I\\u2019m joined by Christine Piven, Chief of Staff for Office of Children and Families and Irina Sapiro, Educational Program Director and ESL Instructor and Learning Coach, New World Association.

The School District of Philadelphia, many public charter schools, private schools, and dozens of summer youth programs (including summer camps, sports camps, child care programs, and more) are looking for full-day and partial-day summer staff who can teach and/or work with children. Organizations need teachers, coaches, group leaders and operations staff. Most jobs pay $15/hour or more. I speak to Charmaine Sudler-Milligan of To Our Children\\u2019s Future with Health.
