The exhibit ‘Community Smog’ is a partnership between the Gregory Allicar Museum of Art, the Center for Environmental Justice, the Department of Atmospheric Science and Northern Colorado community members to create ‘Smog Collectors.’
The $10 million award will go to establishing the Region 8 Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Center, serving six states and 28 Tribal nations.
As part of a U.S. Department of Energy study, CSU is partnering with Boise State University to research how to improve the approach of locating these storage facilities by encouraging meaningful community engagement and participation in decision-making to enhance environmental equity.
Co-founder Stephanie Malin talks about the center’s research into cases of environmental injustice, what impact a renewed focus from the current political administration could have, and how to turn climate grief and fatigue into hope and action.
