What is Environmental Racism?
Environmental racism refers to the disproportionate impact of environmental hazards on marginalized communities, particularly low-income and communities of color. These groups often face higher exposure to pollution, lack access to clean water and air, and live closer to landfills, factories, and other sources of environmental harm. Addressing this injustice requires collective action. Individuals can help by supporting policies that promote environmental equity, reducing personal waste, and advocating for sustainable infrastructure in underserved areas. To learn more and support causes fighting environmental racism, visit The Environmental Justice Foundation or NRDC's Environmental Justice Program. Together, we can work toward a more equitable and sustainable future for everyone.
