Environmental Justice: Opposing a Toxic Waste Incinerator
Environmental health hazards are of particular concern to the communities that are most directly affected. People who live near a toxic waste site, for example, have more exposure to toxins than those who live farther away. Such communities commonly have to take it upon themselves to fight for their environmental rights. Community action can be an effective means to achieving a healthier environment.
Click on the left to watch two videos about people fighting for their health and their environmental rights. Think about the environmental health concerns that each community had and how they took action.
Are there any environmental health issues in your community that you feel strongly about? What action could you and others in your community take to help address these issues?
