The Environmental Protection Agency is funneling $13 million to local organizations aiming to correct long-standing inequalities linked to environmental injustices. Three San Diego projects will benefit.
The Environmental Protection Agency is giving a boost to San Diego efforts to improve chronic air quality problems in the region.
The federal agency has granted the San Diego Air Pollution Control District $1 million to help eight community organizations monitor air pollution in portside neighborhoods and communities near the border.“There’s a lot that can be done,” said Laura Ebbert of EPA Region 9. “And a lot that’s important to do in terms of making sure that folks understand, and have access to information that makes sense to them about air quality issues or about environment issues.
“Finding ways to help communities better understand air quality challenges and to take direct action to mitigate those challenges in partnership with government is very exciting,” Ebbert said.The San Diego Quail Botanical Garden Foundation is set to receive nearly $500,000 to strengthen partnerships with local tribes and their efforts to increase climate resilience. That includes initiatives involving wildfire prevention, drought, climate change and plants of cultural significance.
