Kourtney Kardashian Joins Protest Against Toxic Waste Dumping in Calabasas

BBG News

On Thursday, Kourtney Kardashian teamed up with Kendra Wilkinson and other residents at a demonstration against the Calabasas Waste Disposal Site.

45-year-old television personality known for reality shows and a 39-year-old former Playboy model were part of the group protesting the disposal of dangerous fire debris and waste from the Palisades blaze, which occurred in January, at a landfill situated just beyond the city borders.

The location of the site is near a local elementary school, and the community thinks the waste could pose a continuous health hazard for the neighborhood residents.

At the demonstration, Kourtney, who has shared her intentions for breastfeeding, spoke with local news outlets and stated, ‘Our aim is to ensure that it doesn’t reach this area, but instead goes to an unpopulated location.’

When prompted about a message for California Governor Gavin Newsom, aged 57, the founder of Poosh responded, “Could you safeguard Calabasas? It’s unfortunate that these issues are affecting it.

‘It’s not cool that all these toxic chemicals are coming to Calabasas,’ she added.

She was also pictured holding a sign that read ‘Fill our hydrants, not our dumps!!!’ 

At the demonstration, other signs displayed: ‘Preserve Calabasas! No Harmful Fire Debris!’, along with ‘No Way. Not Yet’ and ‘Defend Our Wellbeing, Defend Our Environment – Locate a More Secure, Superior Option Instead.’

Another sign hit out at Newsom with the statement, ‘Newsom is anti-environment.’ 

There were also signs that read, ‘Don’t Poison My Playground!’ and ‘Calabasas Is Not an Ashtray.’ 

The mother of three demonstrated her stance in a monochromatic ensemble, donning a sweater, jogging pants, and sneakers, accessorized with sunglasses.

Simultaneously, Kendra remained relaxed in a white tank top and a set of light-colored denim jeans. Her golden hair was gathered in an elevated ponytail.

Sheriff’s deputies responded to the scene, resulting in one arrest.

The Calabasas Dumping Ground is among the three locations within Los Angeles County that are accepting Phase 2 waste from fires, which consists of ash, soil, and fragments of homes.

The demonstration took place following Judge Stephen Goorvitch’s dismissal of a request for a temporary order to halt the disposal of ash in Calabasas from the L.A. County Superior Court.

In spite of the obstacles, locals persist with their effort to transfer hazardous waste to a remote desert location.

The Kardashians all had to evacuated their Hidden Hills and Calabasas mansions during the LA fires.

After a swift, devastating fire known as the Kenneth Fire, which was poised to consume the attractive residential areas, forced them to depart, since their homes were only six miles apart.

Fortunately for the famous family, none of their homes were affected by the fires. 

Evacuation orders for Calabasas and Hidden Hills were later lifted.

Unfortunately, not everyone was spared from damage, for the homes of celebrities like Mel Gibson, Paris Hilton, Anthony Hopkins, Tina Knowles, John Goodman, Candy Spelling, Milo Ventimiglia, and Miles Teller were among those that suffered destruction.

For several weeks, the fires that raged through Los Angeles were fought by firefighters to contain them, resulting in at least 29 fatalities, over 16,000 destroyed structures, and scorching more than 57,000 acres of land in areas such as Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Pasadena, and Altadena.

The estimated financial impact of the fires is projected to amount to approximately $250 billion, taking into account expenses like future clean-up efforts, relocation costs for affected residents, and temporary closures of businesses.

The projected damages from the Palisades and Eaton wildfires on real estate is estimated to exceed $30 billion, as reported by the Los Angeles Times.
