Friend — 2022 saw amazing progress in the fight against pollution!

Here’s a report back on all that happened this past year, and where we need to focus our efforts on next.

In 2022 we had BIG wins:
-> The California Legislature passed crucial bills that will establish 2,500-foot setback requirements on oil wells, end neighborhood oil drilling, ban the use of captured carbon to enhance oil drilling, and significantly reduce plastic pollution.
-> The Department of Toxic Substances Control created a plan to expand its accountability and reform its programs.
-> A month ago the South Coast Air Quality Management District passed an Air Quality Management Plan that prioritizes a transition to zero-emissions technology without dependence on fossil fuels.

Despite these incredible wins, there were also some critical bills that did not pass that would have:
* protected Californians’ drinking water
* improved air quality in the Central Valley
* ensured environmental justice representation on the South Coast Air Quality Management Board
* closed loopholes to minimize oil and gas drilling along our coast.

These fights are critical to our work at EnviroVoters Ed Fund. Eliminating Toxics and Pollution is a core policy area in our Policy Roadmap, the guide we released last year with a set of solutions to address in order to stop the climate crisis.

In 2023, we will continue our work to realize a future where all Californians have access to clean drinking water and clean air, and one where we put an end to oil and gas drilling.
