Growing up in Commerce City, Colorado, 21-year-old climate activist Alessandra Chavira remembers always adhering to one specific rule: Don’t drink the Dead & company june 07 2023 hollywood casino amphitheatre st louis mo shirt What’s more,I will buy this tap water. “Nobody in Commerce City drinks it,” says Chavira, who identifies as Chicana. “For me, that was normal—and it’s still the case.” Throughout her childhood, Chavira wasn’t aware of the exact reason why this was such a widely followed rule, though she got a better sense later on. Located in Commerce City is the Suncor Energy refinery—Colorado’s only oil refinery—which remains one of the state’s largest emitters of greenhouse gasses and toxic air pollutants. The refinery continues to have adverse effects on the air, soil, and water quality in its surrounding neighborhoods, all the way from Montbello to Reunion. “Growing up, I only knew Suncor because we would pass by it and it stank,” says Chavira. “It smelled like rotten eggs—I would know to hold my breath. For a while, I didn’t even claim Commerce City because everybody would call it Commerce Shitty.”



While the Dead & company june 07 2023 hollywood casino amphitheatre st louis mo shirt What’s more,I will buy this Commerce City refinery has been in operation since 1931, it was acquired by Suncor Energy—a Canadian oil and gas company—back in 2003. According to Suncor, the facility now houses three plants over two refineries. Plants 1 and 2 are major suppliers of gasoline and diesel fuel in Colorado, while Plant 3 is the state’s main asphalt producer. The refinery as a whole processes approximately 98,000 barrels of oil a day and claims to contribute more than $2.5 billion to the state’s economy annually. But it’s an output that comes with significant environmental caveats.From December 15, 2022, to March 15 of this year, for instance, Suncor reported 37 days where the refinery exceeded its allowable levels of chemicals released into the atmosphere, such as hazardous hydrogen sulfide and cancer-causing benzene. People living in the area claim they are being disproportionately affected by cancer, asthma, migraines, and diabetes; a 2017 study from ATTOM Data Solution also ranked the zip code just south of Suncor as the most polluted in the entire country. Chavira, who now lives just outside of Commerce City, has witnessed these effects firsthand. “My cousin and uncle all have asthma, and you get constant headaches because of the air,” says Chavira. “It’s to the point where everyone who lives in Commerce City got a free air monitor, and some days it’ll tell you, ‘Don’t go outside.’ The only reason we have [the monitors] is not because of the city, though. It’s because of the organizations advocating for its residents.”Alessandra Chavira outside of Commerce City. Chavira wears a Replica shirt, Willy Chavarria pants, her own jewelry, and a Brown Berets hat.
