Mission:
We focus on environmental and social justice by identifying and addressing the safety and health concerns of our community through education, service and advocacy. We promote awareness, local action, and holistic thinking and address these concerns with healthy initiatives.
Our fundamental principles are to:
* Incorporate environmental and social justice concerns as a significant priority in public decision-making.
* Seek alternative practices and procedures to minimize negative impacts on the environment.
* Conserve natural resources and restore environmental quality.
* Consider the social and economic impacts of the BOLD environmental and health policies and encourage a participatory process in developing these policies.
