Make Pollution History-Wed. Nov. 17, 7-8:30 PM Bass Lecture Hall, 26th & Red River

Have you or your organization had an experience with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) that you want to tell about?

Or, would you like to know more about how decisions at the TCEQ impact our quality of life in Central Texas?

This Wednesday, Nov. 17, from 7:00-8:30 PM, you’ll have the opportunity to tell your stories about the TCEQ or to learn more about it.  The MAKE POLLUTION HISTORY, TCEQ Sunset Town Hall meeting is part of a series of almost a dozen such meetings across the state preparing citizens to play an important role in the once-in-a-decade opportunity to make big changes at TCEQ through the Sunset Review Process.

WHO:  Eva Hernandez, Sierra Club, Moderator;  Travis County Commissioner Sarah Eckhart;  Robin Schneider, Texas Campaign for the Environment;  and Dr. Elliot Trester, Austin Physicians for Social Responsibility

WHAT:  MAKE POLLUTION HISTORY — TCEQ Sunset Town Hall Meeting

WHEN:  Wednesday, Nov. 17, 7:00-8:30 PM

WHERE:  Bass Lecture Hall in the basement of the LBJ School of Public Affairs, UT Austin,  Free and ample bike and car parking and bus stop at corner of 26th & Red River

WHY:  TCEQ has done a terrible job for people and the environment and a wonderful job for big polluters.  That has got to change.  You can help clean up Austin’s Air, Water, and Soil by engaging in the legislative Sunset Review process and making TCEQ follow environmental laws!
