The author urges us to consider environmental injustices both domestically and internationally. What does he mean by this? Give two examples.
What will be an ideal response?
Environmental injustice is the uneven distribution of environmental
goods and bads. Environmental bads are often distributed in places based on
someone’s social heritage (environmental racism), in disenfranchised rural
communities, and in poor places. An example of an environmental injustice
globally is the Shell Oil Company in Nigeria. An example domestically is New
Orleans.
