What? Why the eye-roll?
not towards you
for the communists and their various names...
environmental justice just sounds stupid
what? justice for trees?
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.
