Ep. 5: Food for Thought
<p>Food is a huge part of the holiday season and with the year we’ve had so far, hearty meals are much needed. But the food we eat also has many intersections with climate change and the ongoing pandemic. From the greenhouse gas emissions to the overall agriculture industry itself, there are a lot of nuances to be understood and changes to be made. But the good news is that when it comes to our food choices, everyone has ways to make a difference in their own lives! Listen to Molly and Jennifer’s conversation with UP environmental studies professor Dr. Heather Carpenter about all of this and more!</p> <p><strong>Resources:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHJiNC_7wuw&ab_channel=MovieclipsClassicTrailers"><u><strong>Food, Inc.

<p>The week of the 2020 election was incredibly stressful, but it has resulted in a victory for Joe Biden over Donald Trump which will hopefully push the U.S. towards taking action to address climate change.
