We had a wonderful time at this year’s Health and Environment Summit! On the first day, we had the pleasure of meeting some incredible lawyers who are passionate about protecting our environment. Their expertise and shared knowledge have equipped us with valuable tools to push back against harmful practices in the Oil and Gas industry.
Day two featured a series of powerful presentations, most delivered by local experts who are deeply concerned about the environmental practices of large refineries. From discussing pollutants created during production to addressing “accidental” chemical releases, each presenter offered a wealth of knowledge and experience on the industry’s impact on our community.
On behalf of Micah 6:8 Mission, we want to thank everyone who participated in the Summit. Your commitment and contributions made this event a success, and we look forward to working together to bring about meaningful change for our community.
