On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet Series, we discuss the Trump administration’s attack on environmental protections.
Donald Trump’s EPA chief, Lee Zeldin, plans to roll back more than two dozen regulations that protect our health, air, water, and climate, eliminate the Office of Research and Development, and fire hundreds of scientists.
We’ll also examine the Trump administration’s decision to drop a landmark environmental justice case in Louisiana's cancer alley.
Guests:
Ken Alex, director of Project Climate at UC Berkeley’s Center for Law, Energy, & Environment
Marianne Lavelle, award-winning reporter for Inside Climate News
Robert Taylor, executive director of Concerned Citizens for St. John
