Hi guys! Here with another article! Let me tell you about this word, ?Environmental Justice?. Environmental justice is what we all want for our Earth. Simple is it? We, humans who have different races, perspectives, income want fair treatment not regarding these conditions.
If you want to know more about this, check out this video that tells you about ?Environmental justice?. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dREtXUij6_c
The definition this video says about environmental justice is similar how I think. Also, they have a great example about environmental justice. Check out! When it came to think about the perspective of environmental justice, I thought about people in Korea living in a city called Gimpo who are still taking action about their rights. As I think, people in Korea are mostly thinking about environmental justice these days, which is a good sign that we can work out for environmental justice. But, even though we all think we should work out, the government thinks differently? Gimpo is one of the cities in Korea popular for rice. But, people in Gimpo are having a painful time with illegal foundries near their house, and lots of hazardous substances coming out from those factories. Citizens get diseases, and their crops poisoned by these substances. Lots of environmental groups are helping them to solve this problem. We have to, we have to let all of the people in this world about ?Environmental Justice?! Let us shout out to the world! |

Hello Rock, I used to visit Gimpo city since my cousins are living there. The problem you mentioned above has been pointed out as 'chronic' problems, which means people living in the city are suffering from them.
Thanks for sharing this issue, and let's think about how regional government and citizens can act against this!

Hello Rock Lee
About these injustices happening, it seems that listening is the first thing that is needed. To pay attention and listen to the voices who are vulnerable to the environmental crisis which they aren't actually the cause. Hope the case in Gimpo could be solved with much help!
Thanks for the report :)

Hey Rock-Lee!
Environmental justice has really become a saving grace for many who are fragile thinkers when it comes to protecting their environment.
I do hope that the people of Gimpo succeed in fighting off (legally with the help of NGOs and state officials) the fractures that are cause these effects.
Good report!
