S2 Ep81: The Willow Project

We're back, to learn about The Willow Project. Ash gives us the lowdown on what the project is and who started it. We also learn about how the government has handled the project, and what happening now on a legislative level to save Alaska's wilderness from climate change impacts.

Om Podcasten

Hey! We are Ash and Katy, this is our podcast, Always the Last to Know! Growing up we were taught how to live in the world, everything was going fine…until literally, the entire world changed, thus making everything we had learned essentially obsolete. Needless to say, Mr. Feeny and Cory Matthews did not prepare us for social media takeovers, taxes, or making our way through an insane world where an entire generation is trauma bonded. It feels like we missed entire lessons on things so the goal is to fill in the gaps of our education- from discussions on current laws to clones, from N.A.T.O to what's hidden under melting glaciers, join us while we attempt to navigate our way through the world, figure out adulthood, and hopefully learn something new along the way!
