In this episode of Justice Atlas, we will be talking about environmental violence together with hydro-biologist Levent Artüz, artist Aslı Uludağ and philosophy scholar Oğuz Karayemiş. We discuss whether pollution is part of nature, how people normalise environmental violence by distancing themselves from what they do not want to see and the environmental impacts it entails. As the starting points of discussion, we focus on the Marmara Sea, which faces a massive problem of sea dumping, also below ground where so called ‘eco-friendly’ geothermal power plants operate. 
 
In the last thematic episode of the podcast series titled “Environmental violence – subterranean and aboveground”, some of the questions we seek to answer are as follows: 
 
Where does the environment begin and where does it end? How does the waste strategy of the capitalist ecosystem use the distinction between society and nature? How was the Marmara Sea destroyed along this strategy over the decades? What kind of a species was the black coral, which could have been the symbol of the Marmara Sea? What kind of environmental violence do geothermal power plants inflict in the invisible underground? How does the people’s resistance around the Büyük Menderes Graben (the Meander rift valley) make the violence visible?
