A Brief History of Environmental Justice

[@HenryDarko88]

Environmental justice is the process of achieving fair treatment and meaningful participation for every person in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies, regardless of race, color, national origin, or income.

[@BerlinTerrero-ov5cm]

The issue of environmental justice is deeply concerning, as it highlights how systemic inequality exposes marginalized communities to disproportionate environmental harm. Addressing this requires urgent policy changes to ensure that no group bears the brunt of pollution due to their race, income, or lack of political power.

Environmental issues are not only about nature but also about human rights and social justice.

[@wlittleman]

I bought a McMansion in an upper-middle-class suburb. After living in the community for a few years, I found out there is naturally occurring asbestos in the area that can cause lung cancer. Who do I blame for this environmental injustice?

[@jenb6899]

If the real estate developer knew about it, then I'd blame them for hiding information and endangering your health. But unless this is a systematic pattern of widespread poisoning of McMansion communities, it's not an EJ issue. But you're not really asking, right? It sounds like you are just belittling the concept of environmental justice.

[@wlittleman]

@@jenb6899 Yes, I'm guilty of belittling the concept. But, only because you state my hypothetical case is not an EJ issue because the McMansion is not in an underserved community. They hypocrisy is what I'm belittling. The principles are still the same. The notion of equity is also hypocritical because, in principle, it violates the intent of EEO policies and Title VI. At some point, I'll be accused of belittling equity as well.

[@werekiwi2213]

@@wlittleman At what point did they invalidate the hypothetical EJ issue by saying, "the McMansion is not in an underserved community"? The person said, "Unless this is a systematic pattern of widespread poisoning of McMansion communities, it's not an EJ issue." At no point did they mention the McMansion needing to be an underserved community. They were implying that if this is an isolated incident and it's not systematic, then it's something that may be harmful to you but not necessarily your community. Thus, you belittng the concept because of their imagined statement is inaccurate. You are belittling the concept because you disagree with/don't understand it. I encourage you to do your own research on Warren County, NC, the pig farms in eastern NC, Lowndes County, Alabama, where feces pool in people's yards because the prices of septic tank installation is too high, etc. Real people are being hurt. Please practice empathy.

[@YaribelBarcacel]

Power plants, landfills, and chemical waste facilities are more frequently constructed in underprivileged and minority areas, who lack the resources and influence to fight for themselves.

How do you think voting can change environmental injustices communities face?

[@aieshasojourner1752]

I'm in a policy program dedicated to animals and sustainability. It has come to my attention that my classmates and I, along with prospective students in the next 4 years, may not have a job in the government if the President stays in office, as he does not support these practices. If everyone does their part to vote for the other candidate, all the vacancies in office that occurred during this presidency can be filled by us/like-minded individuals.

Hi how are you?

[@FastTrackHappiness]

@Cyn Moir - Environmental justice & Environmentalism are two separate movements. I encourage you to read 'Environmental Justice and Environmentalism, The Social Justice Challenge to the Environmental Movement' edited by RONALD SANDLER and PHAEDRA C. PEZZULLO to catch up with more current thinking. I admire the work you did and still do, but you're misunderstanding the distinctions between the two.

[@ryanhubbard3225]

Ronald Sandler is great. I use his text in my environmental ethics course.

[@deathscythe20]

OK answer me this....where's the best place to dump garbage/

[@ilikecake3456]

I know that this is an old comment, but there are ways to process waste besides dumping it. The problem is that, instead of taking responsibility for their emissions (by preventing them in the first place, cleaning them after the fact, etc.), producers of hazardous wastes choose the metaphorical path of least resistance: already marginalized communities who will have less time and fewer resources with which to fight back. Of course there is no ideal "dumping ground" for hazardous waste, but there are clear patterns of discrimination in the placement of locally unwanted land uses, and no one should be condemned to suffer painful health consequences or an early death as a consequence of their race and/or income bracket.
