How to Build an Equitable and Just Climate Future | Peggy Shepard | TED
Everyone has the right to a clean environment -- but major disparities exist when it comes to who faces the consequences of pollution. Environmental justice leader Peggy Shepard points to the disproportionate impact that hazardous environmental conditions have on Black, brown and Indigenous communities and challenges us to build a truly equitable future that turns "sacrifice zones" -- where community health is sacrificed for the sake of development -- into "green zones" that redress the legacy of pollution and harmful policies.

What is a right? What is equitable?..fair and impartial. Vs. Making someone else pay for it.... how is that fair and impartial?
Everyone has their own role in protecting and preserving planet earth, from the smallest things to the biggest things.
I don't even have to watch this video to know where it's going, particularly when the leftist buzzwords of "equitable and just climate future" are used in the title. I just saved myself some 11 minutes from listening to the presenter tell me that I'm a racist and need to pay more of my hard earned money to support some leftist cause.
2022(G) “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore:
What does equity mean in this context?

It always means taking... we went from a society that always pushes equality to now every other word these people say equity and 10 other communist red flags... It is and always has been a communist / utopian term when used the way they use. And chasing Utopias always ends in mass death. Just like this energy BS they are doing is going to do for example.. but this time around I think that's just the cherry on top for these people. All this money they are giving to themselves and fantasy "Start Ups" ..START UPS! They don't even have to have actual proof.. many of just being shells or even them/relations Could have been pushed into X prize type ideas or Advanced efforts already being worked on. ..if they want to toss it in the air. But see they care more about the appearance (to steal more money) then they do reality.

So we shouldn't have permits we should have zero pollution. I suppose you should wear a machine that collects your breath when you exhale.
EVs are just a way to get poor people off the road 🤦♂️🤡🤦♂️
Studies show....SHOW US THE STUDIES. A black family making 87,000 can move into almost any suburb they care. If they decide to live in a place that isn't to their liking that's THEIR CHOICE. It's not for you to tell me that I have to change their mind or pay them more.

I know right i don’t believe her for one fucking second. Pollution isn’t plopped in the backyards of black people so it is not following them around. If they choose to live in poor areas despite having enough money to move away thats their choice. Poor areas always have more risk of pollution and natural disasters thats just how it works, and sadly historical discrimination has made it so black people are more likely to be stuck in a cycle of poverty, thats all it is. Pollution is not racist 🙄
“Equitable” 😂
These people saying these words will lead to everything but just...

So are you going to move the coal power plants, dumps and sewer treatment plants into the rich neighborhoods? Infrastructure has to go somewhere. Rich people (probably including our presenter) can move whenever they want. You can't put these things nowhere. These are what causes most of these problems. These types of people love to talk about these one off things like cancer alleys and of course anything that involves the State buying lots of expensive services and products from businesses they've "invested" in because politicians and their families and cronies make money indirectly from these transactions. Rich people move away from pollution. This depresses land prices allowing poorer people to buy those properties. Are you going to prevent poor people from buying cheap property? Are you going to make all real estate cost the same amount? Sounds like a bunch of pandering bull crap to me. An unrealistic dream of central planning authoritarian aristocrats. She will never live by the dump and she will never let it be built near her, but she will let someone else live near it. Her vision of equity is a lie even if she believes it.

you are missing the point - industry does not have to be polluting if their sites are built to avoid toxins etc from escaping. This might make their products more expensive but then everyone pays and not just those living in the near neighbourhood

You keep using those terms “equitable” and “just.” I don’t think you understand what those terms mean… the amount of pollution in an area is determined by location and residency in relativity to major cities that have higher levels of pollution. It’s not a race thing- it’s a geographical location thing. People are empowered to move at their own free will and pollution levels should be a general characteristic people take into consideration.

@@hollythomas1344 I do understand it- I’ve written full reports on the topic of the 1968 fair housing act and the legal discrimination that took place prior to that in the 50’s and beyond. The disparity we see in the housing market today when compared to that is absolutely non-existent. People can freely move dependent on their economic means to do so- again not a race issue, rather an issue with the lower and middle classes being crushed ESPECIALLY by this current administration

Leftists have no critical thinking ability because they can't think in the first place. Your entire argument is that a thing that ended sixty years ago is still happening to do when it clearly isn't. The world is nothing like it was then.
