Smoke School Recap: Training Eyes for Environmental Justice

On May 22, GASP partnered with the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) to host our first Smoke School of the year—a hands-on training and certification in Method 9 visible emissions evaluation.

Led by Brad and Fred Singleton of Singleton Smoke School, the session empowered 15 participants—from grassroots advocates to legal experts—with the skills to identify and report air pollution violations using EPA-approved techniques.

We were proud to welcome attendees from across Alabama, including representatives from MEJAC, Coosa Riverkeeper, Black Warrior Riverkeeper, Southern Environmental Law Center, The Capacity Collaborative, and engaged community members.

We’ve seen the impact firsthand. With your support, we can make it happen again. Help us continue training community leaders to hold polluters accountable and defend their right to clean air— See you in six months to get re-certified!
