In Ruth Andrade’s South Los Angeles neighborhood, oil derricks and pump jacks seen from backyards or apartment windows are a fact of life.
For years, Andrade and her neighbors who live in the craftsman homes and apartments that sit close to such properties didn’t know why there was a smell of rotten eggs in the air. It was unclear why children suffered nose bleeds, and teenagers and parents complained of headaches.
When Andrade learned that the chemicals used to draw oil from deep down into the earth could be harmful, she was told it was too hard to fight those responsible.

Los Angeles had hoped to be a leader in this area. The sustainability plan released by Mayor Eric Garcetti in April 2019 said all new buildings should be “net-zero carbon” by 2030, with existing buildings converted to zero-emission technologies by 2050. ....
