Chapter 6 (Section 6.2) begins to explore the issue of environmental justice. Consider where you grew up and answer the following questions:
- Where were the factories, waste dumps, and polluting facilities located and who lived closest to them?
- What is an example of an environmental justice concern in North Texas or in your area?
- Do you think the concerns of environmental justice advocates are justified?
- What could be done to ensure that poor communities do not suffer more hazards than wealthy ones?
Please respond to the questions and to one other student. Make sure you write at least 4 good complete sentences for your response to the questions and 2 good complete sentences when you respond to someone else in the class for full credit. Saying "I agree." or something of similar nature is not considered a good, complete sentence!
