Where Can I Start to Help?

To start off this blog I want to give a bit of back round of what environmental justice is according to www.epa.gov and also just give you guys a few places to browse to know where you can start to help!

"Environmental Justice is 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. EPA has this goal for all communities and persons across this Nation. It will be achieved when everyone enjoys the same degree of protection from environmental and health hazards and equal access to the decision-making process to have a healthy environment in which to live, learn, and work." - www.epa.gov

Environmental justice is very important for every individual to just keep in mind. By recognizing what we can to do to help our communities, we can better protect our environment and ourselves in our everyday lives. 

I was also able to log on and check out what other sites were supporting environmental justice and I found the Natural Resource Defense Council ( NRDC) and I was so intrigued about what I as an individual am able to do. 

I clicked on a section called ACT NOW and it took me to another page that showed me ways that I would be able to help now by simply filling out my information and sending a pre-written message to the needed correspondents. 

I will go more in depth about personal issues that really touch me personally but I just wanted to inform you guys what websites I've decided to connect with and share with my family and friends. 

Stay involved,

Melanie
