A clean, safe, and healthy environment is essential and fundamental for life to thrive, let alone survive. However, access to clean air, water, and all the stable environmental conditions necessary for life, isn’t always guaranteed, especially for certain demographics and communities that have repeatedly been subjected to pollution and other environmental injustices that have impacted their health and livelihoods.
