Activity 5.1 - Introduction to Environmental Justice

Image
  Environmental Justice: Environmental justice is a political/social justice movement that plans to fix the environmental policies we have in place currently. Many of these policies disproportionately affect people of color across the globe and contribute to poor-quality living areas. The people who are advocating for environmental justice plan on developing and creating a more sustainable way of living.  (picture:https://www.pennfuture.org/Blog-Item-More-than-Skin-Deep-Environmental-Racism-Justice-and-Pennsylvania) Environmental Racism: Environmental Racism is a term used to describe how areas with a high population of people of color tend to have a lower-quality environment compared to their white counterparts.

Activity 3.6 – Research Paradigms

  Case Study: Scenario Three Alternative energy sources have always included and affected different aspects of our lives from racial prejudice to social constructs. When conducting research into this topic you have to take into account how different sources could end up affecting people. A critical race theorist might look into how and why the excess materials would negatively affect communities of color or why it would disproportionately affect people of color versus white people.

Activity 4.1 – Tragedy of the Commons: A Case Study

  Introduction: Tragedy of the commons refers to a situation that happens when multiple people use too much of a limited resource. The majority of the resources we had have been able to renew themselves over time however when people do not give that resource enough time to recover it causes the overall amount of it to drastically decrease over a shorter period of time than if people had only taken what they needed. When one person consumes more of the resource compared to other people they then cause a chain reaction where other people try to take more into account of the shrinking availability of the resource. A descriptive explanation of the tragedy of the commons problem: An example of a current-day “ Tragedy of the commons” would be Line 3 which is currently being built by Enbridge Corporation. Line three is a tar pipeline that will go through areas of Alberta, Canada to Superior, Wisconsin. The pipeline will carry 915,000 gallons of tar every day across the above-listed areas....
