Which organization was founded by Lois Gibbs in response to her community’s experiences with hazardous waste and has become a resource for similar struggles nationwide?

Center for Biological Diversity
Center for Health, Environment & Justice
Environmental Working Group
Earthjustice

The correct answer is: Center for Health, Environment & Justice

The Center for Health, Environment & Justice (CHEJ) was founded specifically in response to the experiences of Lois Gibbs and her community. CHEJ specializes in assisting local and grassroots organizations in dealing with environmental health and pollution issues. The other options, while all reputable organizations, do not have the same focus and history as CHEJ. For example, the Center for Biological Diversity focuses on conservation and endangered species, while the Environmental Working Group primarily focuses on consumer advocacy and product safety. Earthjustice is a nonprofit law organization that focuses on environmental litigation. None of these organizations have the same background or focus as CHEJ, making B the correct answer.
