Union of Concerned Scientists: Protect our California Water, Lands, Air and Health

Communities across California, especially in the Central Valley, face environmental and health challenges from decades of intensive agricultural use and polluting fertilizers, among other root causes. More than 556,000 Californians, predominantly low-income communities in the Central Valley, do not have access to safe and affordable drinking water — including as a result of nitrate pollution. As agricultural lands transition to more sustainable management practices, ensuring responsible land and water use is key to addressing environmental health injustices and building climate resilience in our state. Write today and urge your CA assembly member to support the Nitrogen Pollution Reduction Act (AB 2447) and reduce the harmful impacts of nitrogen pollution. Act HERE.
