Social Justice Spotlight
 Why is the environment a hot social justice issue?
Environmental justice proponents generally view the environment as encompassing "where we live, work, and play"; thus, the movement seeks to redress inequitable distributions of environmental burdens (pollution, industrial facilities, crime, etc) and access to environmental goods (nutritious food, clean air & water, parks, recreation, health care, education, transportation, safe jobs, etc).
