<div dir="ltr">Hey Y'all,<div><br></div><div>I am guessing that some of you are already on the WWU mailing list, but for those who aren't or for those who missed it, there is an interesting looking seminar on the disproportionate impacts of toxic waste sites to underrepresented communities in WA state, and what folks are trying to do about it! It felt like it fit well into our environmental justice theme. It is free and open to the public, so I just wanted to pass it along.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Ben</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Huxley Environmental Sciences & WWU Alumni Association</strong> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:alumni@wwu.edu">alumni@wwu.edu</a>></span><br>Date: Thu, Feb 18, 2021 at 3:02 PM<br>Subject: The Environmental Injustice of Toxic Waste Sites<br>To: <<a href="mailto:Bmaki002@ucr.edu">Bmaki002@ucr.edu</a>><br></div><br><br><u></u>

This webinar is co-sponsored by the Salish Sea Institute.</p><p style="padding:0;margin:0"> </p><p style="padding:0;margin:0">Toxic waste sites can be found almost everywhere across Washington State, but are overrepresented in communities of color and lower income neighborhoods. The fact that race and income can determine one’s proximity to hazardous waste is an environmental injustice, and a pattern seen throughout the US.</p><p style="padding:0;margin:0"> </p><p style="padding:0;margin:0">In 1989, the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) was implemented in Washington State to protect public health and reduce the exposure of toxic chemicals to human health and the environment. The law is responsible for preventing toxic pollution, involving the public in decision-making, and cleaning up sites contaminated with toxic, hazardous waste. MTCA is currently undergoing a ten-year rulemaking process to rewrite the policies and processes that guide the law – this process is a critical opportunity to finally address economic and racial disparities exacerbated by disproportionate proximity to toxic waste sites by incorporating equity and environmental justice frameworks into the rule.</p><p style="padding:0;margin:0"> </p><p style="padding:0;margin:0">Washington Environmental Council (WEC) sits on the Stakeholder and Tribal Advisory Group for this rulemaking, and we are using our position to advocate for stronger protections for communities of color and lower income communities. Tune in to learn more about the disproportionate impacts of toxic waste sites on communities, Washington’s current efforts to integrate environmental justice into its policies and processes, and more.<br><br>This seminar series aims to help you better appreciate, understand, and evaluate the many ways that manufactured chemicals interact with all humans on Earth.
