Ep. 77 Environmentalism Under the Trump Administration

Today we sit down with Matthew Tejada (Natural Resources Defense Council), the Deputy Director of Environmental Justice at the Environmental Protection Agency under President Obama, President Trump, and President Biden. Tejada, a longtime Houston environmentalist, is now working diligently with the NRDC to advocate for cleaner, safer environments. We have a direct conversation about the changes the new presidential administration has meant for the EPA and environmental research, and what the future may hold for improving our environmental health and resilience. Later in the hour our researcher Jadyn talks with Dr. Chaney Hill (Rice University) about The Overstory – one of the most popular books of the last decade.
