Asserting that the State of Colorado must enact new policies to fight environmental racism and clean our air, a new coalition has formed to move the state “toward eliminating environmental degradation and barriers harming disproportionately impacted communities…” and create conditions so that “Colorado’s children can breathe clean air regardless of race or socio-economic background for future generations to come.”
In 2022, the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission (AQCC) will consider new rules to help reduce harmful emissions of greenhouse gas pollutants and other emissions that hurt Colorado’s air quality and create smog and ozone.
This year, Colorado has a chance to address climate impacts, environmental racism, and
historical inequities by enacting safer and more sustainable clean truck rules.
