Halt the Harm

A-Z Tackling the Impacts of Plastic and Petrochemicals introduces a new series about Community Right to Know and the hazardous chemicals being used in our communities by oil, gas and associated industries. We will be joined by our partners from Earthjustice, Between the Waters, People Over Petro, Climate Reality, Ohio Valley Allies and many others. Special thanks to Halt the Harm for helping facilitate and host the series!

​​​They will delve into the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA), an old but still useful federal law designed to try and protect communities from toxic chemicals used by industry. The second episode will explain some of the tools useful in getting the information you are entitled to. The third episode will explore community based solutions to protect ourselves now and in the future. The final episode will reflect on the current federal laws and ways to update and reform them based on our current situations.
