Nah, they really don't care about trees.  Here's how it goes:  putting a factory or a power plant or anything that generates "waste"  (right; what doesn't)  in an "economically deprived" neighborhood is pushing "our" pollution on the pore&starvin' by creating a toxic environment for them to live in.  Of course, such businesses also provide jobs for the same pore&starvin' right where they live, which is supposed to be a good thing in terms of eliminating the need for transportation.

So, if the plant is built, it's environmentally "unjust"; if it isn't built, "we" don't GAS about "minorities" and the pore&starvin' because they're being denied opportunity.

How much do you think is needed? We'll have to see if we can get it to you. Will lead projectile donations make the cut? ::rockethrow::
