ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE

Environmental justice is the fair treatment and meaningful


involvement of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income, with respect to the
development, implementation, and enforcement of
environmental laws, regulations, and policies.

EPA has this goal for all communities and persons across
this nation. It will be achieved when everyone enjoys:
 the same degree of protection from environmental and
health hazards, and
 equal access to the decision-making process to have a
healthy environment in which to live, learn, and work.

ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE:
A CHALLENGING PROPOSITION

How do we ensure that all people have the


opportunity to be involved and to benefit
from the creation of sustainable products
and services?

Or….is sustainability just another way for


the privileged to manage their health,
their money and take care of their own
thus widening the gap between the have’s
and have not’s?
