Healthy Communities

Working to ensure communities are clean, healthy, and vibrant is at the core of what we do each day at EANY. Of course, our climate and water work brings benefits to New York communities, but our communities, especially disadvantaged ones, also face exposure to toxic chemicals through a myriad of pathways and experience the burden of our mounting solid waste and plastic pollution crisis. 

 

With our communities work we strive to advocate and push policy that will help remove toxic chemicals from our homes and neighborhoods; that will tackle the solid waste and plastic pollution crisis; and that will ensure communities have access to environmental rights and justice.
