    I have been a strong advocate of the right-to-repair movement and how E-waste impacts the environment. The following article published by the World Health Organization addresses the scope and impact of E-waste on humans and the environment.

    Something I am interested in is the EPA's crackdown on "defeat devices" used in motorsports, and recent pushes to stop people from using vehicles initially intended for use on the street for motorsports as well. I feel like because this industry is so small, the EPA is missing the forest for the trees as the saying goes. I suggest anyone reading this check out the RPM act.

What will (or should) the politicians do?

For most US Americans, the climate crsisis is not one of the most important issues. But to many members of younger generations, it is an important concern.
