Environmental Justice Coalition

The Environmental Justice Coalition (EJC) is working to pass an Environmental Justice Act (EJA) to provide the framework for protecting communities with the poorest health, greatest concentration of environmental pollutants or least economic development from additional sources of pollution.

The EJC has drafted an EJA that will provide communities with the poorest health, greatest concentration of environmental pollution or least economic development with mechanisms to attract sustainable development projects.

The EJA wants communities to have the means to participate in the environmental permitting process and wants environmental permit applicants to have certainty regarding site selection.

Environmental justice is defined by the EJC as:

the fair treatment of all people regardless of race or income with respect to environmental issues.
