Bradley Marshall, Attorney, Florida Office, Earthjustice: “Any national policy that is going to help mitigate the worst possible climate impacts is going to have measurable benefits.”
Yasmine Agelidis, Attorney, California Office, Earthjustice: “The pandemic has created this boom in retail that’s just made it a lot worse, and this impact is particularly felt by black and brown communities who are also being hit the hardest by COVID-19. This case — it’s fundamentally about human health, and it’s really about protecting people in a part of the country that has literally the worst air quality in the nation.”
Matt Vespa, Attorney, Clean Energy Program, Earthjustice: “This is not just a climate issue. It’s a public health issue and an air pollution issue. There are serious health impacts from this. I think it’s going to be looked back at like, ‘Why were we smoking cigarettes at home?’”
Tania Galloni, Managing Attorney, Florida Office, Earthjustice: “They are running so fast that they're tripping and they're taking shortcuts. And that's really sort of the bottom line. What they have done is just try to make the program effective immediately without following the process as required by law.”
