The US EPA defines the term "Environmental Justice" as follows: 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. Using this definition, write a well-developed paragraph (at least five sentences) about how residents in the neighborhoods comprising the Proctor Creek watershed have historically and are currently experiencing environmental injustice
