Overview
Communities for a Better Environment advocates for environmental justice in disadvantaged communities. Air pollution in Southern California is among the worst in the nation. A proposed major highway expansion would exacerbate this problem. CBE is working to securing cleaner alternatives to protect community health, by improving the public process in transport planning and educating decision-makers to give preference to cleaner engines and clean rail.
