This anon edit is appears to be a personal POV. Alan Liefting 08:30, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Need a link to the 2003 workshop in Budapest - haven't found anything with Google.
Hey all, just got here. I think it would be good to separate this article so that there was one for the idea of Environmental Justice and another for the Environmental Justice Movement. A guide might be found in the distinction between Global Justice and the Global Justice Movement. --Ill seletorre 09:37, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
I agree. Environmental Justice as an idea is great, but the movement has a lot of flaws and diversified opinions- the two shouldn't be mixed up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.229.107.215 (talk) 02:52, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
It links to a US General who died well before the EJ movement started. I believe this is an error.
Changed US Civil Rights Commission to the proper United States Commission on Civil Rights, and provided a hyper link to it's wiki page.

Not to tell anyone how to edit, but I like this article very much and think it should expanded. Maybe someone could go to the EJ timeline referenced here, or other sources, and include some of the most important dates for the history section. Maybe I will myself, but I don't know as much about this as whoever wrote the page. Envirocorrector 19:54, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
There is an absence of information about EJ outside the USA on this page and the 'Environmental justice movement' page. I think it would be useful to create a section on EJ in other parts of the world. However given the current format of this page it would only make sense to add this section in addition to having a blurb about EJ in the USA, for which there is already an article (i.e. Environmental justice movement). Are there any suggestions on how to incorporate this new information? Widdenham (talk) 14:25, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
I have a similar concern to Widdenham. Environmental justice is not just about the U.S. and it is not just about racism. Socio-economic class has been ignored in this article. The poor whites in Appalachia suffer from the same problem but it has not been attributed to racial discrimination in published sources. Also note that there is a separate article on Environmental racism and this article should focus on environmental justice. Drawn Some (talk) 16:58, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
I am concerned that the quote in by Edward Lao Rhodes is too long. Do we have his publisher's permission to use it? Drawn Some (talk) 17:01, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

An external link I added to this article was deleted for -- I believe -- conflict of interest (COI) issues. I would like to re-add it and explain why I think there is no conflict of interest.
The link I added (http://ej.issuelab.org/research) is for a website which houses a collection of research on Environmental Justice. The website belongs to a nonprofit organization called IssueLab whose purpose is to collect and archive research produced by nonprofits and university-based research centers. The link does not go to IssueLab's home page or any sort of promotional or donations page. It goes directly to the collection on Environmental Justice -- an actual list of research documents. The research was not written or sponsored by IssueLab and we do not benefit financially from an increase in the number of people who view the research. We are a non-profit-seeking organization by definition. Like Wikipedia, IssueLab is a neutral resource; we do not espouse any political views and we include in our archive research produced by a large variety of organizations. The link was added in the spirit of expanding knowledge, what Wikipedia is all about. One of IssueLab's guiding principles is to encourage sharing of and free access to information. Along with the link I included the description "Nonprofit Research Collection on Environmental Justice" so as to make it clear what the link led to. I assure you I was not trying to mislead anyone or promote any sort of commercial website. I was simply trying to offer an additional resource for those who might be interested. I apologize if I appeared to be breaking the rules, but after carefully reading Wikipedia's guidelines on External Links and Conflicts of Interest, I truly believe that I am not.
From Wikipedia's section on External Links: "Some acceptable links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy."
IssueLab's EJ collection contains "further research that is accurate and on-topic" and "could not be added to the article for reasons such as...amount of detail."
External Links also includes guidelines on "Links Normally to be Avoided": "Links mainly to promote a website. Links to web pages that primarily exist to sell products or services, or to web pages with objectionable amounts of advertising. Links to sites that require payment or registration to view the relevant content."
The link was added to promote the research, not to promote the website or to sell anything. The site does not require payment or registration.
From the section on Conflicts of Interest:
"A Wikipedia conflict of interest (COI) is an incompatibility between the aim of Wikipedia, which is to produce a neutral, reliably sourced encyclopedia, and the aims of an individual editor.
"COI editing involves contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote your own interests or those of other individuals, companies, or groups. Where advancing outside interests is more important to an editor than advancing the aims of Wikipedia, that editor stands in a conflict of interest."
The aim of IssueLab is to offer another "neutral, reliably sourced" resource. "[A]dvancing outside interests" is not more important to us than "advancing the aims of Wikipedia," which are strongly in line with those of IssueLab.
Finally, the first external link on the Environmental Justice article is to ejnet.org (Environmental Justice & Environmental Racism), another page of additional resources, just like IssueLab. Another external link goes to the site of the Environmental Justice Foundation, a nonprofit just like IssueLab. My added link fits right in with these accepted links.
I hope I've explained the situation clearly and I hope you won't object to my re-inserting the external link. My apologies for the length of this entry.

Environmental justice movement is entirely redundant and should be merged into this one, as Wikipedia is not a dictionary. LegalSkeptic 21:05, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
where the article talks about causes of environmental injustices, it leaves out personal preferneces of certain groups and or lack of transportation. often times socioeconomic groups are forced to live near for example, highly polluted areas because they work at the place that is causeing the pollution and do not have adequate transportation so are forced to reside near there. also, some groups of people choose to live in more degraded areas due to consumer preferences. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kenne264 (talk • contribs) 18:23, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello there editors! As per the tag on your article, I am going to attempt a copyedit. I will go section by section generally, and leave lots of notes here about the things I fix, if you see anything you disagree with, or don't think improves the article, feel free to revert me, I won't be offended, honest! :) Please note, I did not check your article for verifiability, only for copyediting purposes (unless quickly checkable) --Despayre (talk) 20:23, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
Lead:
next section! --Despayre (talk) 21:31, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
well that sucks... power failure... :( lost all my notes here on the next section, but most importantly, the section that deals with Manuel Pastor's report, the report doesn't quite say what are article says it says, it may want to be looked at
History:
Advocates:
Legislation:
Initial barriers:
Cost barriers:
Contributions of the Civil Rights Movement:
Existing organizations:
Litigation:
Affected groups:
Who is responsible?:
Around the world:
Northern to southern:
That's it! Generally a well written article, not a whole lot of major errors, just a few little things, and a couple of issues that should be looked at. Good job by the editors on this article! --Despayre (talk) 04:31, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
