I completely agree, losing official EPA support for EJScreen is a huge step backward for transparency. While this recreation of the tool helps fill the gap, it’s not a perfect substitute. Keeping pressure on legislators to restore access to agency data is crucial!

FYI: EJScreen is an environmental justice screening/mapping tool that helps identify areas with higher environmental burdens and vulnerable populations.

It was removed from the EPA website as part of broader efforts to dismantle environmental justice and DEI programs within federal agencies.

I would eat that up!

Take the time to simplify, explain and connect. That’s how you earn your spot on today’s programming.

This is why misinformation is so dangerous; it leads to applause instead of appall.

I followed and subscribed to your substack. Happy to meet you!

Every time I see a cyber truck on the road I’m in actual danger of my eyes rolling out of my head 🙄

Beautiful picture! Have you seen a saguaro bloom? If not, here are a couple pictures I’d love to share with you. These were taken in 2022. The saguaro bloom is the Arizona state flower! 🌵
