"Environmental justice embraces the principle that all communities are entitled to equal protection and equal enforcement, along with access to housing, transportation, food security, water, health, and clean energy."

Congratulations to Valley Improvement Projects (VIP)! 🎉 California will shut down its last MSW incinerator thanks to the relentless work of groups fighting for environmental justice! Read more 👉 wastedive.com/news/reworld-s…

Today, we celebrate news that the Stanislaus County Covanta plant—the last remaining garbage incinerator in California—will cease operations in December! To everyone who stood up, raised their voices, and fought for change—thank you. bit.ly/4h1Irv2

“We are happy to finally see the last incinerator in CA closing,” said John Mataka, longtime advocate for EJ w/ Grayson Neighborhood Council & VIP. “The West Side of Stanislaus has been the dumping ground & has suffered the cumulative health impacts of the incineration of trash.”

Ayyyy!!!

“This is a huge win for our community, and we’re excited to work with the city and county to build a true zero-waste plan that not only keeps waste out of landfills but also creates green jobs and protects our air quality,” Bianca Lopez of VIP said. wastedive.com/news/reworld-s…

"By dumping more toxic substances into the landfills, there’s a higher chance of chemicals leaking into groundwater or becoming part of airborne dust blowing into nearby communities." California regulators want to weaken hazardous waste disposal rules latimes.com/environment/st…

Bradley Angel, executive director of the SF-based community group, Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice, says...the impact (of the planned cuts) will be enormous and devastating. Literally people could die and probably will die as a result... sfchronicle.com/climate/articl…

"...They claim to want to protect public health, community benefits, tribal rights, and the environment. This appeal provides them another opportunity for them to do that,” said Luis Olmedo, executive director of Comite Civico del Valle. desertsun.com/story/news/env…

TOMORROW!

Join CEJC and and other Environmental Justice organizations and community members in telling the DTSC Board of Environmental Safety (BES) that we don't want hazardous waste in landfills next to disadvantaged communities that are already overburdened with pollution!

“I don’t think that municipal waste landfills were ever designed to accept this kind of waste, and to deregulate it ... puts those landfill communities” at risk, said Jane Williams, executive director of California Communities Against Toxics. apnews.com/article/hazard…

“This plan is a travesty, and I’m calling on DTSC to be better than this,” Johnson Meszaros [of Earthjustice] said at Thursday’s meeting. “If we don’t draw the line with this massive deregulatory effort, there is no line..." latimes.com/environment/st…

THANK YOU to everyone who was able to attend and participate in the CEJC 10th Anniversary Celebration & Conference!! It was an amazing weekend of building solidarity, sharing knowledge, advocating for change, and also just having a good time! We hope to do it all again next year!
