CLEAR Collaborative is working toward a healthier, more equitable future for communities on the frontlines of petrochemical pollution in Texas and Louisiana. We work to make sure that communities are equipped with the support and resources they need to hold polluters accountable and to secure a safe, thriving future for generations to come.
Last year, a chemical disaster happened nearly every day in the U.S.
It doesn't have to be this way. Stronger rules and better enforcement can help prevent toxic chemical pollution & protect our health so that all communities can thrive. @project_descend
"As the oil and gas industry tells it, they’re the economic bedrock of the communities across the country where they operate," @project_descend co-founders Jo and Joy Banner write. "But jobs should not come at the cost of our health and safety."
Health and Safety Risks Shouldn’t Be the Cost of Doing Business
Last year, a chemical disaster occurred nearly every day in the U.S. and existing rules are not rigorously enforced. We can do better.
