Earth Day – April 22 – is an opportunity to reflect on what has been accomplished through environmental movements, research and teaching thus far. EcoGovLab wrote the linked article below to detail some of the research and teaching our lab and our collaborators have done in order to address environmental injustices across settings throughout the world and the U.S. Earth Day is not only a time to reflect on all the accomplishments of the environmental justice movement but also a time recognize the work that needs to be done going forward.
