In this unit, students learn about environmental justice in California, and elsewhere in the US, by studying communities struggling with environmental inequities, and learning about how those communities have fought for justice. There are five lessons within the unit, each taking about 1 hour:
• Lesson 1: What are the benefits and burdens of environmental decisions?
• Lesson 2: What is environmental justice?
• Lesson 3: What is environmental racism?
• Lesson 4: How do communities fight for environmental justice?
• Lesson 5: What does environmental justice look like?
