Environmental Justice Project
The concept of environmental justice seeks equal
protection from environmental, public safety, and health hazards
for all people regardless of race, income, culture, and social
class and includes the meaningful involvement of impacted citizens in
decision-making processes. Environmental
justice means that no groups should bear a
disproportionate share of negative consequences resulting
from industrial uses land use planning and zoning, municipal, and
commercial operation or the execution of federal, state, local,
and municipal
decisions, programs, and policies.
Through this
program, the Law Center provides assistance though a staff
attorney to organizations with environmental justice issues,
including air pollution
from heavy truck traffic,
fighting landfills, and ensuring that demolition protocols are
followed.
