Environmental Justice

Here is the second post for the day to help get caught up to my once a day goal for posting. This post is about environmental justice and even though this is a relatively brief post, this is a topic that is very deep! The website related to this that I am highlighting today is the Encyclopedia of Earth. There is an absolutely huge wealth of information on an incredible array of topics within this site. Specific to environmental justice I am highlighting an article about the origins and definition of the term. I found this to be brief but well written with past, present and future views as well as a few ideas for further reading.
Another section of the site is the larger Environmental Justice page from which, you can jump into a number of topics within environmental justice that are in alphabetical order by the articles they are. There are a number of articles that are specific to Africa, which is a major interest area for me. Here are links to a few of them about chemical use, environmental and socioeconomic impact of armed conflict, and legal responses for sustainable development plus many more.
