Protect Air, Water and Land
Petition to Improve Air Quality
Sign Mountain View Coalition Petition
The Mountain View Coalition has petitioned the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Air Quality Control Board to adopt this draft regulation.
Our purpose is to protect public health and the environment from air pollution. Mountain View Neighborhood, on the east bank of the Rio Grande in the far South Valley of Bernalillo County, is a residential and agricultural community. Our elementary school has been open for 100 years. We are predominantly Spanish-speaking, low-income, and working class. Since the 1970s, dirty industrial development has been dumped in our neighborhood. The Environmental Protection Agency has defined Mt. View as an environmental justice community, meaning our health is endangered due to the disproportionate amount of pollutants generated in our community. We have worked diligently for many years to counter the ongoing onslaught of industrial development.
Banks Funding Climate Chaos
In the 5 years since the Paris Agreement, the world’s 60 biggest banks have financed fossil fuels to the tune of $3.8 trillion. Runaway funding for fossil fuel extraction and infrastructure fuels climate chaos and threatens the lives and livelihoods of millions.
Stop Line 3
At $7.5 billion, the proposed new Line 3 would be the largest project in Enbridge’s history and one of the largest crude oil pipelines in the world, carrying up to 915,000 barrels per day of one of the dirtiest fuel on earth, tar sands crude. They call it a "replacement" but it is larger, with higher volume, in a new corridor. First Nations, tribal governments, landowners, environmental groups, and communities across the Great Lakes have been fighting for 5 years now to stop this new corridor and #StopLine3. We are here to protect the water and our future generations.
