WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 El Senador de los EE. UU. de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, anunci\u00f3 hoy que servir\u00e1 en el 117el<\/sup> Congreso como presidente del subcomit\u00e9 del Comit\u00e9 Senatorial de Medio Ambiente y Obras P\u00fablicas que supervisa la seguridad qu\u00edmica, el manejo de desechos, la justicia ambiental y la supervisi\u00f3n regulatoria.<\/p>\n

\u201cSi bien la crisis clim\u00e1tica nos afectar\u00e1 a todos, ya hemos visto que las peores consecuencias de la contaminaci\u00f3n recaen sobre las comunidades de color y las comunidades con menos recursos\u201d. merkley dijo<\/b>. \u201cHar\u00e9 todo lo que pueda en mi nuevo rol para escuchar y luchar por esas comunidades para que podamos abordar las desigualdades raciales y asegurarnos de que todos los estadounidenses, independientemente del color de su piel o d\u00f3nde vivan, tengan aire limpio. para respirar y agua limpia para beber.<\/p>\n

\u201cDurante d\u00e9cadas, las corporaciones y los megacontaminadores han acelerado el caos clim\u00e1tico y envenenado a nuestras comunidades. Han quemado cantidades masivas de combustibles f\u00f3siles, alimentado una explosi\u00f3n de contaminaci\u00f3n por pl\u00e1sticos, arrojado productos qu\u00edmicos peligrosos en nuestro suelo y v\u00edas fluviales, y vendido asbesto y otros productos qu\u00edmicos mortales a estadounidenses desprevenidos. No podemos seguir permitiendo que las listas de deseos de los ejecutivos corporativos tengan prioridad sobre la salud y la seguridad de nuestras comunidades. Me comprometo a usar mi nuevo rol para luchar contra el caos clim\u00e1tico y la contaminaci\u00f3n pl\u00e1stica al responsabilizar a los contaminadores y sacar los productos peligrosos de nuestros estantes\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

La nueva presidencia otorga a Merkley jurisdicci\u00f3n sobre varios proyectos de ley que defendi\u00f3 en el \u00faltimo Congreso, incluido el Ley de prohibici\u00f3n del amianto de Alan Reinstein ahora<\/i><\/span><\/a>, que prohibir\u00eda la importaci\u00f3n y venta de asbesto en los Estados Unidos; y el Ley para liberarse de la contaminaci\u00f3n pl\u00e1stica<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u2014una prioridad para las comunidades costeras de Oreg\u00f3n\u2014 que requerir\u00eda que las grandes corporaciones asuman la responsabilidad de su contaminaci\u00f3n pl\u00e1stica, las incentive a fabricar productos reutilizables y reciclables y estimule la inversi\u00f3n en infraestructura de reciclaje y compostaje dom\u00e9stico en los EE. UU. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEstoy orgulloso de tener al Senador Merkley como l\u00edder en el Comit\u00e9 de Medio Ambiente y Obras P\u00fablicas de este Congreso. Es un defensor invaluable de nuestro clima y medio ambiente, que trabaja incansablemente para garantizar que todas nuestras comunidades tengan acceso a aire limpio y agua potable\u201d. dijo el presidente del Comit\u00e9 Senatorial de Medio Ambiente y Obras P\u00fablicas, Senador Carper<\/b>. \u201cEsta es la primera vez en la historia del Senado que la justicia ambiental es una prioridad clave nombrada para un subcomit\u00e9\u2014un desarrollo que se esperaba desde hace mucho tiempo. La misi\u00f3n cr\u00edtica de la justicia y la equidad debe estar al frente y en el centro de todo nuestro trabajo, y s\u00e9 que la Senadora Merkley ser\u00e1 una defensora efectiva de ese esfuerzo en este nuevo cargo\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
