Join us at the Green Tent this Sunday in imagining clean air! Learn about actions you can take to help protect our community. Protect Playa Now will have tips on electric cooking with information about induction cooktops. The chemicals added to natural gas pose health risks inside the home.
Protect Playa Now is a collection of concerned citizens mobilizing to protect Playa del Rey and surrounding communities from the threat posed by the SoCal Gas Natural Gas Storage Facility.
The facility, located south of Culver Blvd. and west of Lincoln Blvd. has an unsafe track record and puts our community at risk. When pressure builds and the company needs to release gas, toxic substances such as formaldehyde, benzene, hydrogen sulfide, and n-hexane (a neurotoxin) are released into the air… the air our community breathes! Cumulative exposures to these chemicals can pose serious risks to the health of those living nearby.
We have the ability to transition to real clean energy and ensure a future of climate resiliency, good green jobs, and healthy communities. Click here to learn more about Protect Playa Now and their work. And we’ll see you this Sunday 4/24 at the Green Tent at the Mar Vista Farmer’s Market!
