PODCAST #21 | Martinique and Guadeloupe contaminate with insecticides

• Chlordecone insecticide spread between 1972 and 1993 in banana plantations in Martinique and Guadeloupe. Despite the knowledge that the product was carcinogenic and endocrine disruptive, the French State opted to authorise the use of the product. Today, the two islands that depend on France are totally contaminated: land, water and inhabitants, all contaminated. This scandal highlights the need to bring the environmental struggle from a decolonial point of view.
