Siguiente en serie de audiencias que investigan la producci\u00f3n y la contaminaci\u00f3n del pl\u00e1stico<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

mi\u00e9rcoles, 14 de junio de 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington, DC \u2013 El jueves 15 de junio a las 10:00 a. m., hora del este, el senador estadounidense de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, presidir\u00e1 una audiencia del subcomit\u00e9 para examinar los impactos ambientales y de salud p\u00fablica de la producci\u00f3n y eliminaci\u00f3n de pl\u00e1stico en las comunidades de justicia ambiental. Esta audiencia es la siguiente en una serie de audiencias<\/a> Merkley participa en el Subcomit\u00e9 de Seguridad Qu\u00edmica, Gesti\u00f3n de Residuos, Justicia Ambiental y Supervisi\u00f3n Regulatoria que investigar\u00e1 la producci\u00f3n y contaminaci\u00f3n pl\u00e1stica y sus efectos en la salud humana, el clima y el medio ambiente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

"Los pl\u00e1sticos est\u00e1n en todas partes en nuestra sociedad, y son las comunidades de primera l\u00ednea las que soportan la peor parte de la contaminaci\u00f3n t\u00f3xica y los peligros de la producci\u00f3n de pl\u00e1stico". dijo el senador Merkley, quien preside una serie de audiencias que investigan la producci\u00f3n y eliminaci\u00f3n de pl\u00e1stico.<\/strong> \u201cLos pl\u00e1sticos producen emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y liberan toxinas durante toda su vida \u00fatil. No es suficiente simplemente aumentar el reciclaje para abordar la producci\u00f3n si vamos a proteger a las comunidades de primera l\u00ednea subdesarrolladas y pasadas por alto. Necesitamos escuchar a los afectados, y esta audiencia les dar\u00e1 a las comunidades de EJ una voz y una plataforma para compartir sus experiencias\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

El video en vivo de la audiencia del jueves se proporcionar\u00e1 en el Sitio web del Comit\u00e9 de Medio Ambiente y Obras P\u00fablicas<\/a>, Gorjeo<\/a>, y YouTube<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La audiencia del jueves sobre el efecto de los pl\u00e1sticos en las comunidades de justicia ambiental contar\u00e1 con el testimonio de los residentes de las comunidades de primera l\u00ednea que tambi\u00e9n son investigadores, voluntarios y defensores de la protecci\u00f3n de sus comunidades. Los testigos incluir\u00e1n: Angell Bradford, estudiante de doctorado en fisiolog\u00eda y medicina en la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Tulane, Cap\u00edtulo Voluntario Sierra Club Delta; Sharon Lavigne, fundadora de Rise St. James; y Chris Tandazo, Director de Asuntos Gubernamentales, Alianza de Justicia Ambiental de Nueva Jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merkley ha liderado la Ley para liberarse de la contaminaci\u00f3n pl\u00e1stica<\/em><\/a>, que reducir\u00eda la producci\u00f3n de pl\u00e1stico, aumentar\u00eda el reciclaje y proteger\u00eda a las comunidades de primera l\u00ednea de la carga de las emisiones t\u00f3xicas de los desechos pl\u00e1sticos al cambiar los incentivos de la industria. El proyecto de ley trasladar\u00eda la carga de la limpieza a las corporaciones que produjeron los pl\u00e1sticos para que tengan una motivaci\u00f3n financiera para terminar con la quema y el vertido; fortalecer las protecciones de justicia ambiental; eliminar las lagunas en la exportaci\u00f3n de residuos; y extender por todo el pa\u00eds las leyes existentes que han demostrado funcionar a nivel estatal y local, entre otros pasos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
