@POL223Y Ceres was highly effective and essential to get these policies passed. They would not have occurred if Ceres didn't push for it.

[Conrad Farner @ConradFarner]

NGO Ceres https://t.co/Pxj0h3XllA Established INCR, mandatory climate-risk disclosure of insurance/public companies. @POL223Y

@POL223Y In this case, MA is more proactive about state transport standards than national ones. Example of decentralization of env. policies

[Conrad Farner @ConradFarner]

@POL223Y Also with transport, MA is a leader in promoting alt-fuel tech. http://t.co/qeUXK8pvCD

@POL223Y Although not purely an env. policy, the emissions savings of renewable energy mass transport is huge compared to U.S. auto system.

[Conrad Farner @ConradFarner]

Blog talks about difference in mass transport between US and EU. EU proponent of clean energy electric rail. http://t.co/IL169UkR1C @POL223Y

@POL223Y This is an example of the impact of multiple #interests in policy making. Environ, agric, and human health need to be considered

[Conrad Farner @ConradFarner]

Saving the Salton Sea is smart environmental policy http://t.co/Fxr42FbBjt Opinion of how multiple interests are impacting policy. @POL223Y

http://t.co/rGhFLuDLkG This shows some historical cases of environmental racism against black communities. @POL223Y

[Tanner Musser @MusserPOL223]

@POL223Y IMO env racism is #nohoax, but it seems to be more of an effect of econ. circumstance than a deliberate attack on minorities

[Amanda Kaiser @POL223Kaiser]

http://t.co/OFEq9tpu6H This article argues that race is the determining factor when it comes to who breathes bad air. @POL223Y

[Conrad Farner @ConradFarner]

@POL223Y IMO, env. racism is not a hoax, but is often due to other demog. and cult. patterns as well. Is a product of financial disparity.

[Conrad Farner @ConradFarner]

@POL223Y Minorities in U.S. breathe air w/ 38% more NO2 than whites. Leads to higher rates of asthma, respiratory disease. #NoHoax

[Conrad Farner @ConradFarner]

@POL223Y Relates to readings b/c it's an example of risk perception and assessment shaping policies. In this case rail accident prevention.
