105: Environmental Injustices, Racism; Social and Economic Sustainability; How Everyone Can Tackle Climate Beyond Earth Day

04/22/20 • 13 min

There’s more to sustainability than the environmental component; today, we’re shining light on the concepts of social and economic sustainability. While climate change impacts everyone, we know marginalized groups will the first to feel the effects of climate change. We also know that some groups are feeling the burden of pollution and ecological injustices than others. We’re walking through some real-life examples of groups that are feeling the impacts of climate change, and giving ourselves some encouragement to bring absolutely everyone into the climate conversation.

106: EPA Rollbacks; Science-Based Policy; Pollution and Public Health | Dr. Gretchen Goldman, Union of Concerned Scientists

We are speaking on current rollbacks of environmental regulations with Dr. Gretchen Goldman of the Union of Concerned Scientists. The US EPA is responsible for creating standards promoting the health of individuals and the environment; unfortunately, our current administration is seriously undermining that mission by rolling back regulation on air pollutants, chemical outputs, and harmful toxins. Dr. Goldman Gretchen sheds light on the current EPA rollbacks, the regulation process, why these rollbacks can happen, and what a science-backed administration needs to look, both for today’s environmental protection and for our long-term climate security.
