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
I believe that we need environmental justice because we are the only ones that can protect and take care of natural resources by recycling, stop cutting high amount of trees, reusing plastic battles and containers, by not throwing trash into the ocean, using less plastic bags, and put trash into the right place in natural public places. We can improve if we all work together because when a bunch of voices reunion they become a louder voice that would be heard. The Earth and it's natural resources and animals deserve this justice and protection because as they get affected by this we also get affected. Let's give the environment justice!!.
i agree
