Hi everyone!
I come back after of vacation expected... well, today i write about the one of my favorite geography subject wich are tems related with environmental conflicts that affecting communities of a given territory. This geography subject talk about spatial inequalities relative to the amount of green areas, or why in some areas are located landfills or polluting industries, all this makes mention of a concept called " Environmental Justice", this geography subject i knew in a class called " Ecología Urbana" or Urban ecology which i learned as in the urban areas there mishandling of the natural resources and the household waste and industrial waste in the city or in urban spaces and like there use of equitable and sustainable manner our waste and natural resources.
I liked this theme because is very important in any communities and territory take care of natural resources and waste of the population, at the same time care the population of the industrial pollution, because in the poor communities is where environmental rights are violated, due to the low power of these communities to make decisions about their territory.
I have learned that the poor communities of the city need major environmental education in all aspect and that empower its territory to make decisions regarding the location of landfills or polluting industries. Is important that distribution is more egalitarian green areas in the city because this help decontaminate areas locally and prevent diseases related to industrial or residual contamination which affect mostly the poor communities of the city.
