Toxic Release Inventory Training March 13th

You have the Right to Know!

Do you want to know what companies in your community release into the air and water?

Are you curious about which facilities don’t have to report their emissions?

Interested in learning which companies are reducing their pollution?

Join us on March 13th!

The Toxic Release Inventory or TRI is a user friendly database run by the Environmental Protection Agency that tracks pollution from companies across the United States that are required to report by law.

The Clean Air Coalition has been recently recognized by the United Nations as a world leader in training communities on the TRI database. Last year, executive director Erin Heaney was invited to UN Headquarters in Geneva Switzerland to provide training to non-government organization (NGO) community members from Kazakhstan, Cambodia, Honduras, Peru, Ecuador, and the Ukraine.

On the 13th you will learn about the movement behind TRI, and the history of communities that stood up and demanded more information about toxics in their neighborhoods. Trainers will also teach how to use the EPA TRI tool Myrtk.gov, give opportunities for attendees to dig into the data, discover what companies are polluting, and the potential health effects of their emissions.

This training is open to the public and for people with all comfort levels with computers are able to participate.
