Eroding History: How we talk about environmental justice

When people talk about environmental justice, they’re often speaking about hazards such as incinerators and landfills that abut communities of color and cause them harm. That is but one definition of environmental justice. It’s also about the systems that underlie our national infrastructure and make it more likely that lower-income communities will suffer from blights less obvious than incinerators, like highways. And it also is about protecting culture and historical assets, which communities of color will be the first to lose due to climate change. This talk, by the founders of the Environmental Justice Journalism Initiative, addresses all of these facets.
