The podcast often discusses how human activity and policies impact the natural and built environment. In today’s episode, Nimo and Jas share vital tools and resources to help you understand the environmental condition of your community and how to use the tools to make decisions in your personal life. The United States Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, is the source for most of the tools below. EPA's mission is to protect human health and the environment by ensuring clean air, land, and water with federal regulations. Press play to hear:
- Walk Score: An online tool that allows you to determine the pedestrian, biker, and transit user accessibility of a location.
- EPA Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculator: Helps you calculate your home or small business carbon footprint and identify ways to reduce it.
- CoolClimate Maps: An analysis of household carbon profiles for each zip code, city, county, and state.
- EPA Environmental Justice (EJ) Screen: A mapping tool that helps identify areas where residents may be disproportionately affected by environmental pollution.
- EPA How’s My Waterway?: Interactive data/mapping about the condition of local waters based on federal, state, and local government reporting
