On September 6th, some Biological Sciences Scholar students and I attended a panel of researchers who discussed the environmental, social, and economic impact of pollution of the air via motor vehicles, factories, and other pollutant-causing systems. What really appealed to me was the correlation of social injustice to race, in regards to the opportunities are available in neighbors with high toxin levels in the air. Therefore, environmental sociologists are attempting to bring awareness to this predicament by educating lower-income middle-school students about way to minimize waste in their daily lives. Conversely, environmental economists are negotiating with powerful industries about minimizing their pollution, as well.
