105: Environmental Injustices, Racism; Social and Economic Sustainability; How Everyone Can Tackle Climate Beyond Earth Day
There’s more to sustainability than the environmental component; today, we’re shining light on the concepts of social and economic sustainability. While climate change impacts everyone, we know marginalized groups will the first to feel the effects of climate change. We also know that some groups are feeling the burden of pollution and ecological injustices than others. We’re walking through some real-life examples of groups that are feeling the impacts of climate change, and giving ourselves some encouragement to bring absolutely everyone into the climate conversation.
