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.
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?
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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
Los angeles NEW YORK PORT ARTHUR and Houston Texas chicago and parts of Louisiana are the most pollutred cities in America. Alot of california cities have air pollution
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.
@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.
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.
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 am always amazed at how whites in areas, especially rural areas, are always omitted in these "histories." LMAO. Insert racism instead of aliens and one can perhaps understand this cult better. Explaining things that make no sense is much easier when one blames aliens or nonsensical terms like "environmental racism." Can these race cultists be deprogramed? All indications at this point appear unlikely.
Maybe try actually looking into the issue and the various clear examples such as Altgeld Gardens where minority populations were deliberately located in the most polluted areas and where waste dumping has specifically targeted areas with high minority populations...
@@decus9544 Maybe try actually looking into the issue and the various clear examples where the community was white such as Libby, Montana, one of America's worst man-made environmental disasters. Or predominately white, West Virginia where More than 40 percent of West Virginia’s rivers are too polluted to pass simple water-quality safety thresholds. Or maybe Love Canal in Niagra Falls, NY where white residents suffered from 11 different carcinogens released causing miscarriages, chemical burns to children, birth defects, and likely Leukemia as well. Do not allow yourself to be just a Borg assimilating Leftist propaganda. Do your homework.
@@willieboy3011 The proportion of cases is massively skewed towards ethnic minorities, not just in per capita terms but in absolute terms. That this is true despite the difference in population sizes is testament to the deliberate and systematic poisoning of the minority populations of the U. S. Pointing at the odd counter example, or an example where there were a large number of the white population with, e.g. the same water supply as the affected minority groups is an obvious attempt by yourself to obfuscate the issue. Given the historically high use of materials such as lead for instance, there are bound to be examples for all ethnic groups to some extent or another, and given the increased cost of infrastructure in rural areas per capita it is inevitable that many of these examples will be in rural areas. This fact does absolutely nothing to disprove or in any way undermine the issue or the distribution of the effects thereof, which have been and continue to be overwhelmingly felt by ethnic minorities.
@@decus9544 You state a premise without facts or examples. Your mind is closed. You do not wish to learn; therefore, you cannot learn. Dwell upon this for a time.
@@willieboy3011 I needn't dwell upon anything, the facts are clear to see wherever you might wish to look for them, just type the term 'environmental racism' into Google, or specific issues such as 'lead poisoning US' and you'll find limitless examples with clear trends obvious in all of the data you might wish to look at.
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.

Hi how are you?
Does the establishment of industries in formerly colonized countries by the West also come under environmental racism?
Thanks for posting. Enjoyed video, very informative.

Here’s environmental justice in a nutshell 💩.
The moment you displayed a party bias you lost total credibility. This was a democratic party video, not an EPA policy focus.
