Through my studies as an environmental science & policy student, I was startled to see how much someone's cultural identity could actually increase their risk of being exposed to environmental hazards. Black and brown communities in the country faced disproportionate exposure to poor air and water quality. Small Island Nations globally were facing the threat of sea level rise and BIPOC communities on average had less access to green spaces to recreate. While the data was very clear, at times I didn't feel support from the environmental community when it came to acknowledging social injustice as it relates to my identity and I felt unheard. This is why I decided to define the term "Intersectional Environmentalism" - a type of environmentalism that identifies the ways in which injustices happening to marginalized communities and the earth are interconnected, without silencing or minimizing social inequality. By acknowledging both social and environmental injustice as environmentalists, I think we really have the power to create change. To learn more, Alex and I spoke about intersectional environmentalism this morning in an IG TV episode posted on his profile. You can also learn more about my new organization @intersectionalenvironmentalist , created by an amazing collective of eco-activists, on the instagram page or website intersectionalenvironmentalist.com (link in Alex’s profile.)
