- ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
Environmental justice embraces the principle that all people and communities have a right to equal protection and equal enforcement of environmental laws and regulations.
Lean about environmental justice
America is segregated and so is pollution. Race and class still matter and map closely with pollution, unequal protection, and vulnerability. Today, zip code is still the most potent predictor of an individual’s health and well-being.
Individuals who physically live on the “wrong side of the tracks” are subjected to elevated environmental health threats and more than their fair share of preventable diseases. Still, too many people and communities have the “wrong complexion for protection.” Reducing environmental, health, economic and racial disparities is a major priority of the Environmental Justice Movement.
