The Little Village Environmental Justice Organization (LVEJO) works with the community to improve environmental conditions around the area. The Chronicle takes you on one of their Toxic Tours in Little Village, where they provide awareness of the toxic presence that's lurking in their backyard as well as an insight of The Crawford Coal Generating Station, 3501 S. Pulaski. It's one of Chicago's only coal-burning power plants besides the Fisk Coal Power Generating Station, 111 W. Cermak, in Pilsen that is under pressure from local organizations, the Clean Air Act, and a city unique proposal all aimed at enforcing stricter regulations on their emissions.
