The impact to physical and mental health. There are the financial costs. And though it may not always be the first to come to mind, there is also the steep cost to the environment. Andrea Mazzarino, a political writer for the publication TomDispatch, joins Terra Verde host and Earth Island Journal Managing Editor Zoe Loftus-Farren to discuss the toll armed conflict can take on landscapes, wildlife, climate action, and more.
