President Joe Biden was just elected and has already been taking environmental action, but what does this mean? This episode is a brief overview for our young listeners on recent policy, bias and why it matters, how policy is affecting Indigenous peoples, how the Keystone XL pipeline production has stopped and has been invalidated but is yet to be shut down, and more. It can be hard to talk about these topics, but it is important to know what is going on so that we can better advocate for a better and safer Earth.
