Can we solve the climate crisis without confronting global inequities?
A recent study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA found that white residents in the USA produce more climate pollution than black or hispanic residents, but black and hispanic people are exposed to more air pollution.
And that is just the USA! Think about the global inequities in the "haves" and the "have nots".
And how are we going to lift people out of poverty without making the climate crisis even worse?
If you are a resident in a wealthy country, is it your responsibility to address both problems at once? And what would that look like in terms of national and international policy?
Environmental Justice >
Growth
Environmental Justice has been growing throughout the past couple years. People have realized the importance of it, and are starting to spread the world and do things to try and make an impact on it. It has gained the attention of important people like presidents or famous people. This had led to presidents passing laws, singers making songs, new movies and documentaries releasing, and many others to gather more awareness to hopefully eliminate a good amount of things hurting out earth. According a-z-animals, approximately 55k to 73k species go extinct every year. There are many other problems regarding the environment, and we have to make a change now in our lifestyles before it is too late.
