Quotes from the Episode:
- Zach: "Project 2025 represents a significant shift in environmental policy towards deregulation and economic growth, but it also poses considerable risks to environmental protection and public health."
- Katie: "Ignoring or downplaying the impacts of climate change will only exacerbate global warming, leading to more severe weather events and other long-term environmental issues."
- Zach: "They don't view Trump as the controller or the one in charge; they just view him as a vessel to get their policies through."
- Katie: "This almost feels to me like the environmental equivalent of trickle-down economics, relying on good faith efforts without sufficient accountability measures."
