Chasing Zero: The power of communities to reduce pollution, reshape industries and influence geopolitics
Book Description
Chasing Zero tells an incredible story about Californians' quest for clean air, the story of the remarkable transformation of the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach—the busiest U.S. ports—and its impact on the global community. Though partly covered in technical documents and news reports, the full account of the port community's efforts has never before been told.
