On behalf of Young, Gifted & Green, Climate Action Campaign, and the Environmental Defense Fund, we would like to invite you to our Season 5, Episode 10 of The Green Agenda on the topic “Reflecting on 1 Year of Lead and Copper Rule Improvements”. In this episode, we will deep dive into the strengths and challenges of the first year of the Biden administration's rule to eliminate all lead pipes in the U.S. over the next ten years. We'll also discuss the political landscape and ways state water utilities and lawmakers are stepping up to address the lead in drinking water.
