Answer 2

Answer:

Environment can be defined as the surroundings or conditions in which a person lives.

Explanation:

Environmental Justice refers to those cultural norms and values, rules, regulations, behaviors, policies, and decisions to support sustainability, where all people can hold with confidence that their community and natural environment is safe and productive. Environmental Justice is realized when all people can realize their highest potential, without interruption by environmental racism or inequity. Environmental Justice is supported by decent paying and secure jobs, quality schools and recreation, decent housing and adequate health care, democratic decision-making, and finally, personal empowerment. 

Environmental injustice means where one group of people are exploited to benefit another. The just and fair treatment of all people, communities, and the environment is essential in creating a more sustainable and healthy world where children can grow and flourish to their full genetic potential.
