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.  Follow us on social media! @ecochicpodcast / @lauraediez, sign up for our newsletter + support our shop at totallyecochic.com + find us on Facebook, ECO CHIC Podcast.
