Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Yeah, I am a environmental safety scientist. So I'm an environmental scientist and also a occupational health and safety scientist. So it's sort of both how to be safe in your environment. That's the easiest way that I think of it. And Outdoor Wild Kids Adventures was a great program that I served as host was. Played a scientist, my little bit of acting. Oh, how fun. It's about that much.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
But we basically had kids going out running adventures and coming back and bringing us the information. I think I saw this show. It was a pilot. We were trying to make it bigger. Unfortunately, it didn't get as big as we want it to be. But we thought it was a really good show and I had a great time.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Charlene, it's funny that you're talking about the vaccines because Charlene Hume, our director and producer, she did get COVID and passed away. Many of those projects went with her. But if anybody out there wants to do another program, I'm willing.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Absolutely.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Absolutely. We learned a lot about respirators. So environmental scientists is what most people know. Clean air, clean water, clean soil. And then occupational health and safety. For instance, if I came into the studio now, I would do an audit. I would look at extension cords. I would look to see if there's any asbestos, any lead, any radon. I would look to see about your indoor air quality.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
It looks pretty good, by the way.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
You know, you can use HEPA filters, even I say HEPA, for nuisance dust and the pollen that comes out of the air.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Sure, HEPA filters are really good. Also, if you can't have HEPA filters or can't afford them, you can just open the windows and have indoor plants. Indoor plants are huge because they clean the air and they put a little bit of oxygen back into it.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Too much work. I'm bringing a plant in next time.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
No. Well, I'll say yes and no. They do have their own indoor air filtering system and it is supposed to be quite good. But what happens when the guy next to you coughs? Yeah. Okay. So we all think about that. So if you have your mask, preferably an N95 or better, maybe a KN95, you put that on. Me, I flew yesterday and I felt fine, but you do worry about it.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Correct. And as an industrial hygienist, we do do fit testing. So, you know, especially during COVID, I saw a lot of people walking around. I was like, well, at least a cloth mask, if that's all you can get.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
I've seen the half face, which is a big, bigger with no filters. I'm like, why do you have it on if there's no filters?
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
But I typically didn't say anything because people were a little stressed out at that time.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
We are thinking about Earth Day, okay? People say to us all the time, what can we do to help the environment? We're concerned. We're not a scientist. What do we do? And the one thing I do tell them is, look, it's my little prop here. There are 7 billion people on this beautiful planet. And if we did not litter, that would be a huge component to helping the planet.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
You've probably heard about the term fast fashion here. Can you hold that, Drew?
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Yeah, when we buy someone's, we're at once, and next thing you know, it goes in the garbage.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
So what typically happens, we'll talk a little bit about fate and transport of litter. When you throw out something, whether it's a paper cup, plastic, clothing, or whatever, many times because of rain, it washes into our waterways. And this is how we end up many times with beaches that look like this. Now, this is Ghana, which is a country in... It's Western Africa, yeah. Yes, Northwest Africa.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
And they are the third largest importer of clothing. So what they do is they take and use clothing, and they're supposed to sort of repurpose it and resell it. But a lot of times that doesn't happen, and it just goes right out into the garbage. And unfortunately, their beaches end up like this. So I say to everyone, me and my friends, we were out picking up litter this morning.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Keep America Beautiful, they have a great campaign for, I'm sure you've seen some of their commercials, for people to try to pick up 25 pieces of litter before Earth Day. When is Earth Day? April 22nd, which is next Tuesday. So if you can think of that, that would be a great thing.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
There should be some type of subcharge. There's one theory, scientific theory that we use a lot in hazways called cradle to grave. If you produce that hazways, you travel with it all the way until it goes to be properly disposed and you pay for that disposal.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
I think when it comes to things like junk mail, even your McDonald's wrapper, things like that, when you generate that package or that product or the aluminum foil or whatever it is, when you generate that package, especially when it comes to junk mail, you should have to travel with that. And like you said, pay for it. Put a surcharge in it. And then maybe you'll get a lot less.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
If we take like McDonald's and you get your burger, if you bring that wrapper back in, maybe you get five cents off the next burger. Something like that. I would do it.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
One thing that we like to say is reduce, reuse, recycle. Those are our three mantras. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Recycling, it's taken us decades to get people used to it. Some still for it. Even if you do it a little bit, something like 1% of all things get recycled. But I'll take that 1% as a jumping start. We want to recycle. We want to try and reuse.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
But the most important factor out of all of those is reduce. Kind of like what we were talking with fast fashion. If you don't have to go out and buy... to complain about the mail if you can if you can try to we want to try and buy you know as less consumables as possible because reduce is the most important thing
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Very close. 1970 by Gaylord Nelson.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
But if you can just go out, pick up a piece of litter. Like I said, that is the one thing we all can do. Yeah. Properly dispose of it. Styrofoam. Let's just go through some of the levels. Styrofoam. Is this styrofoam? No, I don't think so.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
That's what I do with paper cups. I try and reuse them as much as possible. Even plastic, I try and reuse. But styrofoam, they say never. But it takes about a couple hundred years for that to degrade in the landfill. A regular paper cup. Even though this is reusable, a regular paper cup takes about two to six weeks in a landfill or if you compost it. So that's okay.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Plastic, however, I have a couple of plastic bags. California, I don't think you guys are using plastic bags anymore. New York City, really?
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
okay well these typical plastic bags new york city just oops sorry for the food new york city just uh um outlawed this also these things take 10 to 20 years you usually see them billowing out in the wind somewhere again When this stuff gets littered, it goes through the waste stream, through the water stream, and usually ends up in a waterways or, you know, filling up a sewer or something.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
I try to tell people, especially in your neighborhood, whether it's in your apartment building, your house, you know, near your stoop, which we call it in New York, wherever it is, try and keep that storm drain clean and free.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Because if you don't and enough of them get clogged up, would you rather the water go to where it needs to go in the river, underground somewhere, wherever it's going, waste treatment plant? Or do you want it in your living room? Nobody wants seven feet of water in their living room to try and keep the litter away from your storm drains. Because that's where it's going to end up.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
It's going to end up in the waterway.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
i'm holding up uh let me get a picture of this yes it's an in a green minute you reusable bag just a little something just a reusable bag let's remind ourselves to reuse something yes and where is there a website that you're working with or you want people to go to you well i'm working on my website but anybody can reach me on social media everything's at in a green minute i'm on instagram facebook and twitter in a green minute like in a new york minute since
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
I was reminded about my New York accent.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Were they just kids? Were they nice? Yes.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
We'd lose our properties. Well, we might still all end up on a mountaintop in Colorado somewhere, but we're going to survive.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
to catch 22 i don't know if any of these things like refrigerators and toilets can be refurbished or perhaps they can get some type of money for the actual material you know what i mean kind of like cars when you salvage them you just take the material and they and they give you what they can give you i don't know if that might be it but it might be a johnny combo of that type of situation i've seen the sides of these freeways and i've seen the stuff that drives me insane
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
And that's the number one thing that's littered, tobacco products.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Yeah. Yeah. I think it's going to be some type of combination. Maybe there is some type of company out there that, like I said, can help collect this stuff and refurbish it and at least get a little coin for it.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
I am a I am the chairman of the board, along with Laura Turner and Stephanie Blank for Mothers and Others for Clean Air, a great little organization in Atlanta that helps schools convert to from diesel engines to electric engines. So, you know, electric vehicles. So Laura Turner, you're supposed to say, who's Laura Turner?
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Ted Turner's daughter. Oh, interesting. She's very nice. She's awesome to work with and a great chairperson to work with. So hopefully you guys can come out to our fundraiser. Everyone's invited.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Yeah.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Well, we can only do so much. Right. So what had happened was they noticed that there was some rising asthma rates in the city of Atlanta and the outlying suburbs. And some of the air monitoring data, you know, reinforces that also. So they said, well, let's try and get some increasing particulate matter or something.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
And was causing the kids to get more, you know, better, more rates of asthma. So let's try and get these easel engines when these kids are sitting there waiting for the school bus in the morning and the afternoon.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Or is that also... I would say so. Natural gas, I think, is burning a little bit cleaner if you can... If you understand or if you can kind of look into that, we always say that nothing burns cleanly. But I think natural gas is a little bit cleaner.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
yeah to to fly around on these with hard surfaces everywhere talk about environmental safety what what what how do we do that well obviously we should have seat belts but again one thing at a time right now we're working i think it's bluebird buses that are providing some of the electrical school buses there so we're trying and we're that's going pretty well hopefully the epa We'll stay on board.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Going through a rough patch right now, but hopefully the EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency, will stay on board and try and get some more branches for these school districts to be able to get more grants for these school districts to get more school buses.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Mothers and others for cleanair.com.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Hill Sites is a great organization. I'm, as you guys most well know, I'm a huge fan of Elton John and David Johnstone. His guitarists would talk about Hill Sites all the time online. So I kind of started looking into it and saying, who are these guys? What are these guys? So I started to support them a little bit, you know, giving a little bit to the charity. Then I wanted to get more involved.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
But then I said, well, what if it's a scam? Yeah.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Right.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
They do. So I called Hillside and they were like, yeah, go in. We're a whole, you know, campus. You're more than happy. We're more than happy to have you come out. So that's what I did. I came out to Pasadena. I went to the campus. I took a tour. Saw the facilities, learned much more about them. They don't just help the kids.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
But they also help the families, and I was really into that, to help the mom, the dad, whomever is the guardian of that child, and help the entire family as a unit. I thought it was amazing, so I got even more in-depth, and thus, here we are.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Happy Earth Day, everybody.
Ask Dr. Drew
Sasha Latypova: Covid “Military-Intelligence Operation” Dossier Alleges DOD Links To Pandemic Outbreak – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 477
Today, Earth Day. April 22nd, Tuesday. Pick up one piece of litter.
