Demand a Strong Clean Air Action Plan for Southern California
Target: Ports of LA and Long BeachSponsored by: Communities for Clean Ports
It’s a simple fact - port pollution kills.
Port pollution poisoning from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach affects the entire Southern California basin. And the costs are staggering: 2,400 premature deaths per year; cancer-risk rates up to 19 times higher than federal clean air standards; childhood asthma-related diseases at nearly double the national average; kids missing school and parents missing work; and health costs alone totaling $19.5 billion a year.

On November 20th, the Ports of LA and Long Beach will vote to pass the Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP) - our best chance to end Port Pollution Poisoning in Southern California. The Plan calls for proven, cost-effective alternative fuels and clean technologies to be adopted to reduce the pollution created by this $300 billion industry.
Sign our petition asking the Ports of LA and Long Beach to pass the Clean Air Action Plan, implement it immediately, and help make it safer for all Southern Californians to breath.

We need cleaner air for all of our sakes. It just seems that more and more children are born with asthma. I think this air has a lot to do with this.

We need to clean up our ports and waterways before nature can not rebound anymore. It's the 21 century, we have the means we have cash we have the people who want this done. Please do what you can to make a positive difference in this world before it's too late.

Living in Riverside provides many benefits. The beauty of the surrounding mountains and wildlife here make this area my choice away from "the big city". I am asking you to please pass the clean air plan for LA that affects Riverside. Thank you,
