One reporter on the PFAS front lines explains the industry’s dilemma, as well as the challenges of covering the story and how a financial prism led to important insights into industry’s response.

The Invisibility of Indigenous COVID-19 Data Virtual Roundtable [43]

NYC, LA nor Chicago explicitly include Native Americans in the breakdowns of their COVID-19 data. This continues the "invisibility" of these communities that were already at risk.

Even Without Senate, Biden Can Still Do Much To Fight Climate Change [45]

What will a Biden presidency mean for climate and environmental policy if it’s facing the prospect of a GOP-controlled Senate? Quite a bit actually. The latest Backgrounder examines a range of executive actions that the Biden White House could take on energy and the environment. Plus, a look at what’s possible through independent agencies and, yes, bipartisan legislation. But there are a lot of powerful climate actions [46] a Biden administration could take — by executive action alone [47]. Also see headlines on the topic [48] from EJ Today.
