Episode 004: What Does a Green Recovery Look Like?

A few weeks ago Shana sat down with Jane Palmer, Director of Berks Stands Up, Troy Tuner, Coordinator of Sunrise Movement Berks Hub, and Celine Schrier, an active member of both grassroots organizations. They discussed in-depth the complex problems associated with climate change, racism, and COVID-19 all happening simultaneously during an economic crisis. Together they explored how local and national political inaction got us to this point of crisis in our community. They discussed how policies like a Green New Deal and a Green New Stimulus can bring about a more just and sustainable future that addresses these issues head-on!

If you would like to learn more about what is a Green Stimulus, Green New Deal, or Green Recovery go to the latest edition of the Weekly Ingest Newsletter published on June 22nd.
