Gina McCarthy: Protecting the planet for all people

| Gina McCarthy: Protecting the planet for all people Sara Murphy Wed, 11/04/2020 - 01:30
Gina McCarthy thinks we should be more ambitious in our goals for a thriving planet and an equitable society. The former EPA administrator and current president and CEO of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has been a leading advocate for smart, successful strategies to protect public health and the environment for more than 30 years.
During a VERGE 20 virtual event Friday, McCarthy talked with GreenBiz co-founder Joel Makower about how racial justice and climate justice go hand in hand, and what we need to do to assure a bright future for everyone’s children.
"We’re facing a lot of challenges at once," McCarthy noted, "but they’re also an incredible signal about the future we need to deliver and the way to get there."
The first challenge is the COVID-19 pandemic. Second, we are facing a racial reckoning that is long overdue. Third, many people are feeling the painful effects of the economic fallout from ... |

| If offered Biden's lead EPA role, Mary Nichols would say yes Katie Fehrenbacher Fri, 10/30/2020 - 03:00
The Presidential election looming next week could change everything for the future of the environment, clean air and the markets contributing to the clean economy. And if Vice President Joe Biden wins, there's a chance it could change everything for California's clean air chief Mary Nichols, too.
Bloomberg recently reported that Nichols, the retiring chair of the California Air Resources Board, was on a shortlist to run the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency if Biden wins the election next week. Others on the list for EPA head, or other environmental roles, include Mississippi environmentalist and former regional EPA administrator Heather McTeer Toney, Washington Governor Jay Inslee and Connecticut regulator Dan Esty, according to the report.
During an interview at the VERGE 20 conference on Thursday , Nichols responded to a question about the report, by saying this:
I am one of the people who ... |

| EPA @ 50, and what it says about you and me Terry F. Yosie Mon, 10/26/2020 - 01:45
The American people always have possessed a very personal relationship with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Like all personal relationships, the EPA and its public have their share of successes and shortcomings, adjustments of expectations to realities, and recognition that the daily grind of complexity reveals our own values however much they end up being compromised.
Few institutions exhibit such a pervasive daily presence in American life as the EPA. Its decisions impact the air we breathe (indoors and outside), the water we drink, the food we eat, the health of the children we give birth to and raise, the cars and fuel we purchase, the beaches where we swim, the chemicals we consume (voluntarily or involuntarily) or the quality of nature that we enjoy.
The public health and environmental benefits of the EPA’s actions have been enormous, even while controversial. As one example, a draft report to ... |
