Environmental Justice

In February of 1994, the President signed an Executive Order on environmental justice which will ensure that hazardous substances are controlled in such a way that all communities receive environmental protection regardless of race or economic circumstance. The Executive Order requires all federal agencies to ensure that low-income and minority communities have access to better information about their environment and to have an opportunity to participate in shaping government policies that affect their community's health.
