Program Title: Terra Informa - Season 9 Episode 32 - Pharmaceuticals in our Water, Gaia Hypothesis & Wiebo Ludwig
Description: We rely on modern pharmaceuticals to keep us healthy, but now researchers are finding that those same drugs are making their way into our water. Today Dr. Greg Goss tells us about the effects these chemicals are having on aquatic ecosystems. We also look into a prominent, but often misunderstood scientific theory, the Gaia Hypothesis. Plus, we talk to director David York about his documentary Wiebo's War, which chronicles Wiebo Ludwig's battle with the oil and gas industry. Ludwig spent years fighting sour gas extraction near his home, and eventually served time for bombings and sabotage.

Host(s): Kathryn Lennon
Featured Speakers/Guests: Dr. Greg Goss - Biological Sciences, University of Alberta; David York - director, "Weibo's War"
