NYC Needs More Park Precautions

My friend fractured her ankle and broke her toe going down a slide that had square holes at a park. Because of the holes, her foot got stuck on one of the squares. She has been wearing casts and boots for over four months and has to wear them for two more months at the time of this writing. Since my friend got hurt, I have been more cautious about what equipment I use. 

Roishetta and Kamea Ozane on Democray Now!

In simple terms, LNG is a type of gas mostly made of methane, which is very bad for the environment, according to the Environmental Health Project. So Roishetta and her 12-year-old daughter, Kamea, decided to bring attention to this issue in their communities.
