This document discusses environmental health issues and solutions across three eras: 1) The U.S. Civil War era 1860-1865 2) The early-mid 20th century period of increased legislation like the Clean Air and Water Acts 3) The current era where the environment is negatively impacting human health through events like wildfires and hurricanes. It calls for environmental health professionals to provide policy solutions, clearly define their roles, and communicate a vision focused on public health issues. Standardized approaches are suggested for issues like wildfire clean-up and respiratory protection. The future of the field is discussed as requiring agility, experimentation, and viewing science in its social context.

Municipal solid waste generation is a growing problem in America, with the average American producing over 2 kg of trash per day. Most waste consists of non-biodegradable materials like plastic and packaging (70%) and contains toxic chemicals. Landfills are polluting soil and water sources due to improper management and lack of space. One solution is waste-to-energy plants, which reduce landfill space needs while generating electricity. Building new waste-to-energy facilities would cost $420 million initially but save over $1 billion annually in waste management and transportation costs compared to traditional landfilling. Individuals can help by reducing, reusing, and recycling to create less waste.

Flint_Water_Crisis_final_with sign

Eric Gu

This document is a summer school paper analyzing the Flint water crisis. It was written by four students - Fabrizio Cortinovis, Eric Gu, Julia Schmidt, and Jacob Viktrup - for their instructor Jonah Otto. The paper uses Professor David Audretsch's Strategic Management of Places framework to analyze how Flint's weak economy and failed public policies led to the water crisis. It discusses factors like declining manufacturing, low educational attainment, and policy decisions around Flint's water supply that exacerbated underlying economic issues. The paper then proposes strategic methods to restore clean water delivery, improve healthcare access, and rebuild Flint's image to enable long-term economic growth in the city.

The programs would consist of 10 sessions over 3 months, with groups divided by age. They would be led by a coordinator and involve hands-on learning about plants, animals, and environmental issues. The goals are to increase awareness of climate change and conservation among children so they can educate others. Evaluations would assess knowledge gained and the programs' ability to encourage environmentally friendly behavior. The budget requests funding for coordinator and staff salaries, workbooks, first aid kits, and other materials.

Environmental Justice

Albert

This document summarizes key concepts related to environmental justice. It defines environmental justice as "the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies." It notes that environmental justice stems from the intersection of civil rights and environmentalism and focuses on addressing the disproportionate environmental impacts experienced by marginalized communities. Factors like economic resources, social capital, and structural discrimination can influence exposure to environmental hazards as well as health outcomes.

Diversey

An unprecedented coalition of businesses, environmental groups, and farmers will release a landmark report called "Charting New Waters: A Call to Action to Address U.S. Freshwater Challenges" on September 15th. The report identifies serious threats facing water like pollution, scarcity, population growth, energy impacts, and climate change. It also offers actions to confront these threats and ensure secure freshwater resources for the 21st century. The report is the result of intensive collaboration and represents consensus recommendations from diverse stakeholders convened by The Johnson Foundation to explore solutions to America's freshwater challenges.

The document discusses the characteristics and growth of populations in the Philippines. It covers population size, density, and distribution. Factors that contribute to population size include birth rates, death rates, and migration. The population is projected to grow significantly by 2040 due to cultural traditions favoring large families and issues with contraceptive access and education. Rapid population growth can strain environmental, economic, and social systems and lead to issues like increased waste, resource scarcity, unemployment, and crime.

Environmental Justice Tour

SERC at Carleton College

A Powerpoint describing the Environmental Justice Tour for an undergraduate learning experience. Students often recognize that air, water, and soil pollution have negative effects on human health but may not recognize that these problems exist in their own communities. In many parts of the United States there are sources of pollution located very close to neighborhoods especially in low-income areas. The field trip experience described here explores the relationship between economically depressed neighborhoods and environmental problems through the lens of social justice. This field trip involves witnessing how several low-income neighborhoods are located near coal-fired power plants, open-air coal ash landfills, chemical plants, and a Superfund site. During the experience students have the opportunity to make observations and discuss what they have witnessed in the context of why these problems exist, who is responsible for these problems and how they might be fixed. This field trip experience was developed by Mr. Tim Darst at the Passionist Earth and Spirit Center in Louisvile, Kentucky and is offered on a regular basis for college students, high school groups and community members. This kind of experience could be adapted to many other parts of the country that experience environmental problems, either urban (as described above) or rural (i.e., agricultural problems, deforestation, etc.).

Jenny Laxen - Water Integrity, Gender Equity and Climate Change

tasstie

The document discusses several topics related to water integrity, gender equity, and climate change. It notes that corruption in the water sector puts lives and livelihoods at risk, slows development, and disproportionately affects the poor. It also discusses the costs of corruption, including waste of resources and failure to lead by example. The document argues that billions of dollars of new climate change-related investments will be at high risk of corruption. It advocates for integrating anti-corruption platforms into policy agendas and streamlining corruption and environment policies. Finally, it describes the Water Integrity Network's efforts to bring together actors in the water sector and anti-corruption movement.

Floodwater can be dangerous to wade in for several reasons: rushing water as little as 6 inches can knock over an adult; manholes with loose lids pose a drowning risk; sharp objects and debris in murky water can cause injury; and floodwater is often contaminated with sewage, chemicals, and diseases carried by floodwaters and stagnant flood pools can breed mosquitoes spreading illnesses. Additionally, downed power lines submerged in floodwaters risk electrocution. For all these health and safety risks, it is best to avoid wading in floodwaters if possible.

DEVELOPMENT INDUCED DISPLACEMENT AND REHABILITATION

Vismaya Nithin

Development-induced displacement occurs when communities or individuals are forced from their homes and lands for the purpose of economic development. There are two types of displacement: physical displacement, which results in relocation or loss of shelter, and economic displacement, which results in loss of assets or means of livelihood. Common causes of development-induced displacement include water supply projects, urban infrastructure development, transportation projects, energy projects, agricultural expansion, and the creation of parks and forest reserves. Rehabilitation aims to restore displaced individuals and communities to a satisfactory state by providing replacement housing, land, employment, and rebuilding social networks, but often fails to restore people's sense of identity and cultural link to the environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, EQUITY & RACISM

koketso Kanekane

1) The document discusses environmental justice, equity, and racism. It explores how environmental problems disproportionately impact vulnerable groups, such as minorities and low-income communities, who face greater health risks and limited participation in decision making. 2) Environmental justice aims for fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race or income in developing and enforcing environmental laws and policies. It seeks to address adverse health impacts and environmental burdens on marginalized populations. 3) The case study of the North River Sewage Treatment Plant in West Harlem, New York highlights issues of odor and health problems faced by the predominantly minority and low-income neighborhood from the plant. Community groups advocated to address the problems.

2.4 environmental factors that affect liveability LIPA

PansyLi

There are several environmental factors that can reduce the liveability of a place. These include natural hazards, conflicts, population pressures, land degradation, and pollution from overconsumption. Pollution in particular comes from various sources in cities and rural areas and can harm air and water quality. This affects communities' liveability. A case study analysis explores these issues through investigating the air and water quality of a specific city, such as levels of pollution and their impacts. Improving environmental conditions can increase a city's liveability.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University estimated the direct and indirect water usage of various American industries. They found that most industries use far more water indirectly through their supply chains than directly in their own operations. For example, over 95% of the water used by the sugar cane refining industry goes to growing the sugarcane, generating electricity for the mills, and other supply chain activities rather than the mills themselves. The researchers created a tool to help industries understand and assess their total water usage impacts across their entire supply chains.

Redlining was coined in 1960 by a sociologist James McKnight. The term basically refers to financial lenders drawing a redline around communities that they would invest in due to poor financial capabilities. These areas were often occupied by people of color. This practice encouraged institutionalized racism to run through the streets of these communities.

Development, inequality and climate change

Australian National University

This paper argues that, despite considerable rhetoric to the contrary, privileged populations have long undermined “development”, in several ways and scales. The degree of this erosion of development has arguably increased in recent decades, although there are countering trends, especially the spread and declining cost of communication technologies including mobile phones, the internet and more recently social media. Aid from high to low-income countries, in an attempt to reduce international inequality, has become unfashionable, and many attempts to increase fairness have instead been denigrated, with language such as the “politics of envy”. Arguments that it is in the rational self-interest of societies and indeed of the whole world to become more equal have also had little effect, despite phenomena such as the September 11 attacks and the rise of the Islamic State, which now attracts violent idealists from many countries. Instead, high-income populations favour attempts to suppress dissidents and practice increasingly intensive and pervasive surveillance. Finally, this paper argues that anthropogenic climate change is a manifestation of global inequality, which, unless addressed, is likely to not only make other forms of inequality worse, but even to threaten the fabric of global civilization, in combination with other stresses that reflect aspects of “planetary overload”.

The document summarizes key learnings from research conducted by the Potential Energy Coalition, a nonprofit working to increase support for climate action. Some of their main findings include: 1) Simplicity is needed - most people do not understand climate change terminology and concepts. Human stories about everyday people are more effective than policy language. 2) Appealing to humanity works best - messaging that discusses people's identities, fears and hopes for themselves and their families increases support for climate action more than messages about economic or environmental issues. 3) Holding polluters accountable resonates - messages holding the fossil fuel industry responsible for causing climate change are highly motivating across many audiences. 4) Urgency is persuasive - highlighting

1) The document discusses the growing threat of climate change and the need for urgent action. It notes that humans have already used up the resources meant to last for the entire year by August 2015. 2) Weather-related disasters have increased in frequency over the past decade, occurring almost daily, according to a UN report. Some parts of the world could become too hot for humans to survive outdoors by 2100 if emissions continue unchecked. 3) The document explores various efforts to raise awareness about climate change through art, activism, and fashion. This includes a climate march organized by supermodel Cameron Russell and the paintings of artist Zaria Forman depicting landscapes threatened by climate change.
