We are at an inflection point – the future strength of our state depends on how aggressively we act to reduce the emission of climate pollutants today, and how well we use the great opportunities now before us to promote overdue environmental and economic justice, Shawn LaTourette, acting state Department of Environmental Protection commissioner, said in a statement released by the governor s office.
Kim Gaddy, a Newark resident of three asthmatic children and environmental justice organizer at the environmental advocacy group Clean Water Action, said her community is on the front lines of overlapping health, economic, racial, injustice, democratic and climate crises.
