Focus
CLEAN’s emphasis is on public education and environmental data collection. Its goals are:
- to educate and encourage a knowledgeable public by providing easily available and accessible information
- to facilitate collaboration among civic agencies and health and related non-profit organizations, and,
- to improve environmental quality, especially critical for neighborhoods and schools in close proximity to concentrated pollution sources.
History
To find solutions for Houston’s environmental problems, Jane Dale Owen, president, organized a group of prominent scientists, medical doctors, environmental specialists, concerned citizens and representatives from several environmental groups to form CLEAN (Citizen’s League for Environmental Action Now). CLEAN was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in June 2000.
