How does it align with yli’s values?
The air quality in California has become among the worst in the world, posing a hazard to public health and ruining the quality of life in every region of the state. What’s more, every year, our state experiences more record-setting wildfires and droughts that cost lives, destroy property, hurt our economy and damage California’s iconic natural beauty.
Our youth are directly impacted by environmental degradation – and they have identified Environmental Justice as one of 6 core platforms in their vision for a healthy, whole future.
