ELS Book Talk - Ann Carlson's Smog and Sunshine: The Surprising Story of How LA Cleaned Up Its Air
Join ELS for a talk from Ann Carlson, Professor of Environmental Law at UCLA, on her new book Smog and Sunshine: The Surprising Story of How Los Angeles Cleaned Up Its Air. Smog and Sunshine describes the intense policy battles and the dedicated scientists, attorneys, and local advocates who joined forces with public officials to challenge powerful polluters and protect their city. At a moment marked by accelerating climate change and widespread distrust of government and scientific institutions, the book offers a hopeful example of what communities, committed leaders, and coordinated government action can accomplish when they work together.
