There are hundreds more examples of environmental racism, just within the United States. These issues have been happening for hundreds of years all over the world.

📍Flint, MI
Flint, Michigan is a predominately poor community of color. The water crisis was caused by the town not properly treating its water system after switching its source. This caused lead poisoning in hundreds of people. Even after complaints, nothing was fixed.

Making jokes about women in academics is not only inappropriate, but it sets a precedent that women don't belong in important academic settings without objectifying their bodies first.

@Cole_Mathis02 Seeing as we’re currently at 7.9 billion it wouldn’t be too far fetched to say it could happen in weeks and then we’d gain another billion within a couple years after that! Pretty crazy to think about

[Isabel Wright @isabelkwright]

9 billion is a bit of a crowd

I've noticed this more recently in my conversations and I guess it poses the question...How can we get people to take this seriously?

Women have been harassed out of science since they first entered the field.

Across the nation, since the 1970s, accounts of sexual harassment have been reported from some of the most prestigious science programs in the country.

@rrivergriffith I just posted my essay about tourism and the environment! Mine doesn't focus on the ocean, but I have a special interest in coastal management, so this was a great read!
