After a week away, Casey and Abby are excited to talk about intersectional environmentalism in this episode! They discuss statistics surrounding the communities both, most impacted by and most aware of, the effects of climate change. They also study the whitewashing of the green movement, and how their education systems failed to highlight the stories of the diverse environmentalists that shaped the United States. Finally, Casey and Abby share how they came into the environmentalist movement, and how they plan to continue integrating principles and learning into their own lives.
