Content: For the sustainability space to be truly inclusive, it has to be intersectional. “ Intersectional Environmentalism acknowledges how social justice and environmentalism are intrinsically linked and work together to achieve environmental justice. ” Here are a few steps to help start you on your journey to Intersectional Environmentalism. 1.

“ When it comes to exposure to poor air quality and water quality, BIPOC are disproportionately impacted. ” One of the most important steps in being an intersectional environmentalist is acknowledging the data describing who is most impacted by environmental injustices. When it comes to exposure to poor air quality and water quality, BIPOC are disproportionately impacted. Underrepresented and low-income communities are also more likely to be concentrated in areas with nearby toxic waste sites, landfills, and other environmental hazards.

To right this wrong when moving forward, intersectional environmentalists should acknowledge how many environmental protections haven’t extended to BIPOC communities in the same way.
