I'm writing this comment as a part of my anthropology final, so please don't eat me alive. This issue she talks about called environmental racism appears to be a cross section between the ideas of ecocide and ethnocide wherein an ecosystem and a culture are destroyed. Eco justice and preservation of the Earth and its resources are topics not seen often enough in the modern world. This is especially true in the US where we have politicians advocating pseudoscience and so-called "alternate facts". Cisneros mentions that topics of eco justice are absent or lacking in science education and this is absolutely true. These concepts were never even brought up to me until I took an anthropology 101 course as an elective. It's truly an injustice in itself that education fails to bring these issues to light.
Yeah, topics such as this one do need to be talked about more in education as these matters are very pertinent, seeing as how environmental phenomenons have been sprouting up more and more lately (I look at California's scorching heat as an example). Without knowledge of these matters, we're essentially catapulting future generations into problems they will be ill-informed about, and also problems that will be very hard to deal with seeing as how there may have been little countermeasures put against it over the years. And this talk about cultures being adversely affected by negative changes in the environment also goes to show critical ecocide is and that its pervasiveness is something to not be ignored unless we want more problems that we're not very informed on to be brought onto us.
We can conclude from the number of these video comments and watch how environmental justice and ethics are still ignored in our life. If it was a video about fashion or fast food, it would be viral for sure.
I have been a geologist for 50 years or so. Worked on different geological research projects. It has been established long time back (million years ) that there has been sea level changes in the past and will continue in future. The environment is changing- YES I agree. Can we make a significant difference by applying small time measure- I DO NOT think so. Environmentalists are complaining but are not coming up with INNOVATIONS to check the degrading environment. The change can only be brought when there are new innovations and brought into practice. Complaining and discussing is a mere waste of time and energy. Unqualified people are debating this issue. Pollution control should start from countries the contribute the most like China and India and not from USA or Canada. As long as we have no resources to replace fossil fuel in an appreciable amount - we have to live with it. Until then these unqualified preachers should shut up and should work to find remedies. Close all the refineries and the gas stations for a month and then come and tell me what you went through. STOP VAGUE DISCUSSIONS.
Solar panels at best are 21% efficient, returning warm air into the atmosphere and often in solar farm construction entirely forests are cut down like in Jackson, NJ. This isn’t the answer obviously. Keep an opened mind and realize engineering and not blind activism will give us a cleaner world.

Thank you for your work!
