Community Action for a Renewed Environment (CARE) is a
competitive grant program that offers an innovative way for a community to
organize and take action to reduce toxic pollution in its local
environment.  Through CARE, a community creates a partnership that
implements solutions to reduce releases of toxic pollutants and minimize
people's exposure to them.  By providing financial and technical
assistance, EPA helps CARE communities get on the path to a renewed
environment.
