CA is committed to cleaning up contamination left by Exide’s decades of pollution. 6,500 Southeast LA families now have cleaner properties, parks & schools where they can live, work & play. Our work to deliver environmental justice across the state continues.

We’re working hard to find sustainable options for pest control, thanks to funding from @CA_PesticideReg. With this pilot project, we’re teaming up with berry farmers to find new ways to deliver California’s famous produce while creating a safer environment for all communities.

California is leading the way toward a more sustainable future for farming. This month, @CalEPASecretary visited a berry farm in Santa Cruz County to get a firsthand look at the soil steaming technology that is being implemented through a @CA_PesticideReg grant program.

Californians are tired of rising gas prices. They also deserve to breathe clean air in a healthy environment. That’s why we’re investing in policies that will protect Californians on multiple fronts: from their wallets to their health.

Slashing greenhouse gas emissions and growing the economy go hand-in-hand. CA has proved that – in one year we achieved nearly 4% economic growth while cutting close to 4% in harmful emissions. CalEPA and its partner agencies are working hard to keep this trend going.

As Californians face longer & more intense periods of extreme heat, joining the Friends of the Kigali Amendment is both timely & critical. It's a commitment to the wellbeing of our communities & future generations from super pollutant emissions. #climateweeknyc
