Should you begin to become aware of an environmental issue, follow our multi-step interactive playbook to address it. Here, you can find a brief description of each step. For greater detail and further steps read the in-depth version of the E.A.R.T.H. playbook.
Environmental justice is the elimination of disproportionate environmental burdens caused by industry, infrastructure inequities, and biased policies. It advocates for systemic reforms and meaningful involvement of all people in environmental decision-making to ensure a sustainable, healthy, and equitable quality of life for all, both now and in the future.
We are committed to advancing environmental justice. Through advocacy, education, and grassroots action, we empower historically marginalized communities in Evanston to fight for clean air, safe water, and green spaces. By holding polluters accountable and promoting policies rooted in equity, we strive to build a just and sustainable future for all.
