Diesel emissions pose serious health threats in New Jersey. The impact falls disproportionately on our state's most vulnerable populations--urban communities, communities of color, and children in particular. That makes diesel emissions an issue of environmental justice that all of us should do something about.

Find out more about GreenFaith's diesel emissions campaign…and what you can do today!
