No More Wastelands: Environmental Justice (Part 2)
March 24, 1999
A movement for environmental justice is growing in the United States. Efforts to protect communities affected by industrial pollution have broadened as activists address social and economic factors that often surround such concerns. More and more they are taking into account poverty and race and forming coalitions with organizations that previously might not have considered joining an environmental issue. On this program, we examine some of the coalition-building that is behind the environmental justice movement.
