This document discusses the relationship between labor, the environment, and capitalism. It examines examples of "working class environmentalism" where workers advocated for environmental protections that also improved their working conditions and public health. The document specifically looks at the state-owned petrochemical industry in Italy and cases of pollution and health impacts and the labor and community responses in places like Manfredonia. It argues that labor history and environmental history are intertwined and calls for an integrated "environmental history of labor" approach to analyze their interconnections under capitalism.
