A Brief History of Environmental Justice

then they try to frame farting cows for it.

One thing pro publica doesn’t mention is that those industries offered jobs to those same minorities. Jobs that had skill requirements that often met those of area residents. When the environmental justice folks chased those industries away those minorities had to rely on welfare. I have to wonder if at least on some level, having a large poor dependent group of unhappy people who support leftist ideology isn’t the goal of environmental justice.

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.

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

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.

God I hate bush

Outstanding work Talia!!

Thanks for the video.

The moment you displayed a party bias you lost total credibility. This was a democratic party video, not an EPA policy focus.

Obama was elected in 2008 not 2009

Reporter: "Its for the environment."
Trump: "We can leave a little bit 😅."

MAGA! Stop the Democrats from making us all poor.

Does the establishment of industries in formerly colonized countries by the West also come under environmental racism?

Here’s environmental justice in a nutshell 💩.

I'd love to see you post the full quote from that Trump/Wallace interview.

THIS government is out of control.

What a fucking joke, this government should be outlawed for stupidity.

Fuck earth day

An updated edition is needed.

a great example of environmental injustice is WIN/Wheelabrator Saugus trash incinerator and unlined ash dump. I don't know how it's been able to pollute the greater Boston area as long as it has

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?

Ummm a hurricane is an act of nature… has absolutely nothing do with this. 🙄

Lol ok

Russia actually funds the environmental groups in the U.S.A, they benefit from this, and it is actually verified but it is too popular as a political talking points.

Thank you Talia! And the producers of this video, very informative, and I found the scrolling timeline on the left side of the video especially helpful in grasping the time

5 pillars of Climate justice = 1 increase world population by 4 Billion, in poor countries, since 1970.
2 Blame it on the people who gave aid money to make this possible.
3 increase population by another 4 Billion by 2050 having made the children of the aid givers pay $100bn per yr "climate" money for the increase.
4 Remove the heads of the grandchildren of the aid givers.
5 "Climate justice" 100% achieved for believers!
But because photosynthesis needs CO2 to transform energy for life processes & believers don't know that, they all starve to death.
World population stabilised at 3 million BC levels!

"We can leave a little bit". That's all u gonna leave bro. Looks like I should leave a little bit of something on the lawn of Mar-a-lago.

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.

Really interesting video

Great and succint overview.

Oh no, we didn't just breeze through the Katrine environmental injustice like it didn't happen AT ALL

Why do think the government of Flint, MI took advantage of people of this socioeconomic status?

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

LMFAO "environmental justice"
