Environmental Justice Activity

In this activity, students learn about environmental justice by examining a case study. The question to be considered is "Does the decline of a local neighborhood represent an environmental injustice caused by pollution or some other environmental factor, or are other causes responsible for the neighborhoodâs condition, such as general economic downturn in the community (i.e., market, production problems such as supply shortages or labor strikes) or natural disasters (e.g., flood, fire, tornado)?" Students will identify and describe issues from various stakeholders' points of view. Additionally, the document includes information on how this case study was developed and how to create your own
