Congrats to newly minted @UNBC alumna @JordanABarrett on her first summitted manuscript! It was such a pleasure to grow this project with you, and to help you convert it into a paper. And now we wait... (and hope that reviewer 3 is on a staycation)
What is the though process of governments/city planners to make a green space only accessible to a certain population? Do they believe that only one group needs the benefit of a green space, or do they feel that one group does not need it?
Part 3
Whose voice is most heard during discussions for proposed green space? Does the entire community have input? is more emphasis given to those who would be effected?
Part 2
#geog420 3 Qs
- Could EJ benefit from an Indigenous worldview of animals and the land?
- Will it always be the case that minorities are less respected by gov't and industry when it comes to development?
- What state would the world be in if EJ had not expanded in concept & Space?
3. are tourists truly oblivious to the environmental degradation that their vacation leaves on a village, or do they simply ignore it because they paid money to be there and want to enjoy their time in an aesthetic pleasing place?
#geog420 Three Q's for the day:
1. - In Chapter 6 of Bullard they brought up fighting against men/women who put their health on the line for jobs that pay very little. Why does society make a big deal about the labour conditions of other countries but ignore the ones at home?
2. when speaking of mount dioxin and other soil contamination clean ups, does digging up the ground but leaving it in the community actually do anything?
Why is there such underrepresentation by the black communities in environmental groups? Is it residual segregation or do they feel that they will not make a difference/not be heard?
Three Questions:
Did the municipal governments or industries ever try to conduct a similar study on the residents feelings? Did they just not care/want to know? Would the people have been as responsive to those responsible for their environmental degradation? #geog420
Does the differing levels of anger reflect differing treatment by the industrial site ownership? Do those resident feel that receiving some sort of compensation means they cannot be as angry?
#geog420 my 3?'s
If Warren County was not the most scientifically suitable sight, what/where was? Was it a white neighbourhood? Or was this place already a sacrifice zone and therefore it was easy?
also, if it was scientifically proven that the dumping from this proposed site would lead into the communities water source, why was it still allowed? Did the politicians that should have been concerned for these people just not care? or was financial gain more important?
I'm glad to see a Ellen Page calling out politicians on Climate Change and Environmental Racism ahead of the upcoming federal election #geog420

@zedtweetz I think that our current education system teaches the status quo about certain aspects of sustainability. I think that students should be taught more to think about and voice their EJ concerns.
