Question 52 • CA-Ethnic Studies

What is an example of an environmental justice issue?

Answer
A
Mistreatment by the police during interviews or arrests has increasingly become a problem.
B
A low-income area has few parks or other public areas that provide access to green spaces.
C
Mortality rates during childbirth have been on the rise for Black American and Latina women.
D
Health clinics that offer counseling to members of a community recently closed.

Explanation

Environmental justice concerns whether people have fair access to a healthy environment and are protected from environmental harms. If a low-income area has few parks or public green spaces, its residents have less access to nature and the health benefits it offers. That makes the lack of green space an environmental justice issue.
