Listen "Environmental Racism with Heather McTeer Toney (Episode 21)"
Episode Synopsis
This week on the podcast Shaunna and Lisa are joined by special guest Heather McTeer Toney. Heather is a politician, attorney, triathlete and environmentalist. She served in President Barack Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency, and is helping us make the connection between diversity, inclusion and the environment in triathlon.
Heather explains environmental justice, climate justice, and why these concepts should be important to us as endurance athletes. She reminds us just how connected we are to the natural world when we are participating in our sport, and why it is important for us to use our privilege as athletes to protect the environments that our sport connects us to. We have to approach these spaces and communities with the attitude that we will leave them better than we found them.
