Three minutes without oxygen could lead to death. Air pollution kills. According to the Federal Environmental Protection Agency’s Environmental Justice Progress Report, for fiscal year 2017, the percentage of low-income people living in areas meeting the Particulate Matter - PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards increased from 43% during the baseline period of 2006-2008 to 92% in (2014-2016). This improvement is largely due to advocacy from ECO-Action and organizations like it as well as affected communities.

ECO-Action is committed to clean air and improving air quality for healthy living in Georgia. We put our commitment into action by:

1) helping communities organize to demand their right to clean air from corporate polluters and regulators;
2) providing community organizing and technical assistance to community based group and individuals to empower themselves to demand that environmental regulators enforce Clean Air Act, rules, and regulations equitably;
3) promoting clean, renewable, and just energy and providing grassroots organizing assistance for Just Energy campaigns; and
4) organizing action education sessions for members of the vulnerable communities that discuss sources of energy, production and usage and demonstrate linkages between energy use, air pollution and global warming and subsequent adverse impacts on human health.

We are committed to cleaner air and improving air quality for healthy living in Georgia.
