Hello, People!
I'm having a good day today, despite how I still don't have a job.
I want to make this the first of a series on Urban Greening. A subject of immense importance, and enormous potential. The urban environment is one of the most unhealthy to live in, even though we all get used to it. For this post, however, I am posting this video on Environmental Justice. This is an issue facing not only the poor and marginalized in cities everywhere, but also the poor, "developing" countries everywhere in the world.
The people who face the greatest risk and the greatest injustice are poor, lower class, minorities. This occurs in cities, but on an even greater scale among countries. The only reason we enjoy such a clean environment here in Canada is that we raised our environmental standards, but have moved all of our dirty industrial processes overseas to poor countries.
For example, Canadian mining companies in Latin America.
I have huge interest and huge hopes for urban greening projects; they're basically the future. So let's kick this off with Majora Carter - this is her story:
