Environmental Justice in the Golden State
Across California, low-income communities and communities of color bear a disproportionate burden when it comes to our pollution, whether its lead in their water, particulates in their air, or proximity to toxic sites and hazardous waste. This burden comes with serious health impacts, impacts that have been amplified by the Covid-19 pandemic. Recently, an alliance of environmental justice organizations came out with an assessment of California state agencies and how they are doing when it comes ...

Terra Verde – Responding to Sea Level Rise on the San Francisco Bay
According to recent estimates, we can expect 48 inches of sea level rise on the San Francisco Bay by 2120. With that will come displacement of low-income residents, loss of vulnerable shoreline habitat, significant impacts on infrastructure, and an increased contamination risk from more than 1,000 known or suspected contaminated industrial sites around the Bay. Yet the Bay Area doesn’t yet have a coordinated plan to respond to sea level rise. Terra Verde host and Earth Island Journal Managing Ed...

How Covid-19 Is Transforming Our Food System
Within just a few short months, the Covid-19 pandemic has transformed just about every facet of our society. That includes our food system, where the multiple impacts of the crisis are impossible to ignore. It’s changed how we shop for our groceries, how we think about the food we eat, and how we think about food waste. It’s altered how farmers sell and distribute their crops. It has decimated the restaurant industry, and has put essential workers, including food processing workers and farmworke...

‘Forever Chemicals’ in Our Drinking Water – March 6, 2020
Per- and poly- fluoroalklyl substances (PFAS) have become an increasing public health concern. This multi-billion dollar family of chemicals — that has been widely used in firefighting foams, and to make water-, grease-and stain-repellent coatings in many, many consumer goods — is notoriously persistent in the environment and the human body.

No Coal in Richmond hopes their multi-year effort will soon pay off with the passage of an ordinance that would phase out...
