This is pretty similar to what my research topic and my research have made me more aware of this. It is nice to see others covering similar topics #WhatIlearnedin39C
The consequences of environmental pollution are often not evenly distributed, and low-income people are more exposed to pollution, and they are often the most vulnerable

When creating a portfolio of your works, it is important to have a variety of artifacts showcasing your journey, and captioning them. On top of that, it is vital that you show reflection on how you progressed throughout the process. #WhatIlearnedin39C#39CSustain
The first step to insurance policymakers stepping up is having advocates who want to fight for justice. I agree with this and as students, we are the foundation for change #WhatIlearnedin39C
#WhatIlearnedin39C Climate change is something that is easily solved and progress, I've now realized, starts at the policy makers' foot. By passing stronger laws, we build a foundation towards a reduced carbon emission numbers and work to reduce the damage done. @39CSustain
Scholarly search engines have definitely been a big help considering that I didn't even know that they existed before this. Incorporating the perspective of seasoned researcher strengthens our argument #WhatIlearnedin39C
Scholarly search engines have been extremely helpful in gaining knowledge and research on various amounts of topics. And on top of that, students can gain that sigh of relief knowing that they can filter for scholarly, credible sources. #WhatIlearnedin39C#39CSustain
Writing 39C also taught me that being able to advocate for a solution is not easy, considering that fact that no solutions are perfect - every one of them has a drawback, which is why it can be so difficult to garner support. #WhatILearnedIn39C#39CSustain
I did not grow up in a coastal city but I did do some research on the effect of king tides and its pretty frightening. I would not have linked it as a climate change problem either surprisingly #WhatIlearnedin39C#39CSustain
Miami is Flooding: I grew up in a coastal city and city flooding has been a issue that all locals have dealt with. However, I have never linked it to Climate Change and never thought of it as resilient problem. #WhatIlearnedin39C#39CSustain

Here is the home page of my portfolio which demonstrates my growth as a writer throughout the quarter. My issue is on Environmental Racism in Minority Communities. Enjoy!

During my research on a climate change and sustainability issue, I learned how gaps in environmental law pose a challenge to bring about climate change due to differences in political power.

The portfolio and curation process has been an incredible view of my growth as a writer in my first ever writing class in college. It has shown my growth over time and feels very fulfilling.
#WhatIlearnedin39C#39CSustain
Considering that 39C is a research and writing course, I have come to understand that research can take people down different avenues on how to tackle an issue in the world. This has definitely shaped my perspective on climate change as a whole
In addition, I urge my social media followers to support the Black Belt Citizens of Uniontown in the restoration of their home and fight back against environmental racism.

I urge the people that follow me on social media to support the NAACP who are fighting against racism especially after the death of George Floyd and pointing out the pre-existing conditions that he had before the incident. #39CSustain

The excerpt below is from my AP talking about environmental laws passed by Finland who is one of the global leaders in environmental policy. Here is the link to Thomas Reuter's Practical Law. #39CSustain https://t.co/MDKuPImo2q
The excerpt below from my AP talks about the difficulty of passing an environmental law in the U.S. The last proposed law was in 1992 by John Lewis on this website. #39CSustain https://t.co/omfFSGhKqj
The excerpt below is about the codification of NEJAC (National Environmental Justice Advisory Council) and some more additional information on the significance of codification from Senator Booker's website #39CSustain https://t.co/KyQOgbY4hQ
#39CSustain It is no surprise that pollution and coronavirus make a "double whammy". Now the question is when will the government pass laws to turn this into just a "whammy". #PassS2236!
#39CSustain President Joe Biden has plans to deal with climate change and environmental justice. There is hope that these issues can be solved. Pass S.2236!
#39CSustain Elizabeth Warren's argument regarding environmental justice is a reflection of the unfortunate reality that too many have to face. COVID-19's disproportionate effect on communities of color has allowed these issues to surface
We must face the ugly truth: for decades, the govt has looked the other way while communities of color have been exposed to toxic pollution that may put them at higher risk for COVID-19. As we fight this virus, we must also fight for #EnvironmentalJustice. https://t.co/kAklgk5JPy
