Greening Santa Ana
Please join us: Tuesday, January 31, 6pm,
Delhi Community Center | Zoom registration
This meeting will be an opportunity for Santa Ana residents to meet representatives from the City of Santa Ana and government agencies who can help us improve the environment and health in Santa Ana. Questions from the audience will be welcome!
GREEN-MPNA has been working to advance environmental protection and justice in Santa Ana since 2017, working closely with researchers at the University of California Irvine (UCI). One current project, funded by the California Department of Justice, is a collaboration with UCI’s EcoGovLab and AirUCI to understand air pollution and health effects from tires and brakes. Stakeholder meetings are a way we work together to translate scientific and community knowledge into action.
This is a good time to speed up our work. Through the recent General Plan Update, the City of Santa Ana has established a new Environmental Services Program, led by people eager to work with residents. Together, we need to learn to work effectively with the many US and State of California government agencies responsible for environmental protection. We need to understand many pollution sources and health threats in Santa Ana. We also need to identify solutions, learning from effective interventions in other communities. Please join us!
