Booker in California

Booker talked about toxic superfund sites not too far his home in Newark and the polluted Passaic River that runs along the city’s spine. He said, as president, he would encourage more facilities like the one in Los Angeles, where the goal is to recycle 100% of wastewater by 2035.

“Not only are they dealing with the energy crisis, not only are they dealing with cleaning the water, not only are they lowering the carbon footprint of this area, but they are creating jobs — good, living wage jobs — right here,” Booker said.
