In this week’s episode, Andrea & Paul discuss the topic of lead in ammunition. 90% of the 10-billion bullets sold every year in the U.S. contain lead. Even though little attention has been given to lead ammunition used in hunting, lead poisoning can be linked to the near extinction of condors and other alarming disturbances to our national ecosystem. While lead ammunition is cheap, it comes at a cost, to the individuals who use it, and to society as a whole. Thanks for tuning into Ep7 of United States of Lead!
