Question

What is happening in Parramore, Orlando? Provide examples that show how Parramore residents are impacted by air pollution. What is the racial and economic status of the people who are most impacted? Does the federal government have a responsibility to bring forth environmental justice in Parramore and elsewhere? What can we do as everyday citizens to support and advocate for those who don’t have access to such a basic right like clean air? City officials have detailed a beautification project that aims to transform Parramore into one of the healthiest neighborhoods in the city with a farmers market, community gardens and a bike path. How could this project negatively impact the current residents of Parramore? If the people living in Parramore know that their health is endangered, why do they stay in the neighborhood? Is the issue faced in Parramore more than just an environmental problem? Is it a political problem? Does race-based environmental injustice exist? If so, how does it deny people of color a chance for a healthy community? Environmental justice activist, Lawanna Glazer, is quoted as saying, “I get upset a lot. I’m David and I have a slingshot and a rock. And Goliath is my government, my elected officials, with billions of dollars to fight me.” Research other activists that are working to facilitate social change in their communities and write about the challenges they face. Are there other communities that battle environmental racism? Find examples on a local, national, and international level and share details about issues faced.
