Last year, Colorado lawmakers created the Environmental Justice Action Task Force to
research how the State of Colorado could better protect the people and communities
that are bearing the brunt of the negative impacts from climate change and pollution.
So, it’s been a year- what did the task force find? According to CPR News, the task
force found five main recommendations for policymakers. Those five recommendations
are:
“1. Consider the impact of future policy across agencies.
2. Set goals to eliminate existing health disparities.
3. Improve community involvement and ‘participatory science’.
4. Emphasize the voice of tribal nations in Colorado.
5. Increase funding” for programs that prevent and mitigate the consequences of
climate change.
We must work together to find innovative solutions to pollution and environmental
restoration. IX Power Clean Water is working to mitigate the potential negative
consequences of climate change by relieving stress on water resources. IX Power
Clean Water uses innovative technologies to clean industrial and oil and gas produced
wastewater. Then, this clean water can be reused for agricultural or industrial purposes,
or safely reentered into the environment. For more information on IX’s amazing
