[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s been a lot of criticism of the environmental movement over the past decades for focusing overly on white UMC issues when it’s poor people, usually of color, who are most impacted by environmental issues. Most environmental progressive groups have initiatives focused on racial environmental Justice now, to try to cure that blind spot. I don’t know the demographics of this area of Ohio but I’d guess at a minimum it is poor or working class. It’s probably a good example of environmentalists still not putting enough attention on these issues that affect poor people. That’s where these hazmat train lines run. It’s all really upsetting.[/quote] In my experienced, even with a concerned and engaged community it's really hard to get traction on these issues. As in this thread (and most other discussion of the derailment) there is so much buck passing.[/quote]
