Climate change is one of the most pressing environmental issues facing our world today. But have you thought about the intersection between the environment and racism, and how you can make a difference? Stop by the Green Tent on Sunday, April 10 to learn more, and win some environmentally friendly prizes!
Environmental racism is a big problem in Los Angeles. The most polluted communities in the city have large minority populations, and not much is being done to help them. In fact, one community in LA, Wilmington, is one of the most polluted areas in the country with an EPA pollution burden of 100/100. Our guests, members of the Palisades Library Teen Council, are hoping to raise awareness about this issue. If you stop by, you could learn more about what you can do to alleviate this issue while winning prizes! Make sure to check it out at our booth on April 10!
