The Environmental Protection Agency launched a new online tool today that can show you if environmental justice in your neighborhood is out of whack.

It’s called EJSCREEN, “an environmental justice screening and mapping tool that uses high resolution maps combined with demographic and environmental data to identify places with potentially elevated environmental burdens and vulnerable populations,” according to the agency.

“EJSCREEN’s simple to understand color-coded maps, bar charts, and reports enable users to better understand areas in need of increased environmental protection, health care access, housing, infrastructure improvement, community revitalization, and climate resilience.”

Let the law suits begin. Neighborhood "A" for some reason received more plant food(see uh O 2) from the air than neighborhood "B". Is that fair and just? Of course not.

How is any of that EPA's business.
They are growing in directions that were never intended.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a new catch-phrase.

“Environmental Justice”™ brought to you by the makers of:

“Gun Violence”™

“Income Inequality”™ and

“Climate Change”™

Please keep an eye on your liberties, as they are likely to be stolen at any time.

“They are growing in directions that were never intended.”

True. The fruits of nanny-state busybodies run amok.

There is an option in the top left of the screen that says report on selected place. I think this is the line where you insert the address of liberal activists in your neighborhood. ;)

LOL! Hard to tell, but I believe we(?) have a majority in both houses now. We (?) kinda thought we(?) (s)elected conservatives in NV to gain control of the Assembly and Senate. But, the internal squabbles got the better of them and little progress was made. From a conservative point anyway.

I encountered the phrase from some liberal whiner from the local college. The state of Idaho had a meeting to discuss adding a new offramp from I-15 into my city. The hippy freak girl asked "What about environmental justice?". WTF? I found websites with the local area and all of the toxic dump sites identified in town. It also had charts of ethnic, racial and income mapped by neighborhood. Good intel if you have interest in investing in real estate in the area.

How would you define environmental justice being “out of whack” as the article so eloquently puts it?

Put your own zip code in, then select the demographics mapping. You can identify neighborhoods by ethnicity, income, education, language. Too bad they omitted a crime map. Cancer maps will be coming soon. The strip mine west of town puts lots of uranium ore dust onto my area. The incidence of thyroid cancer is unusually high.

Look for a "correlation, not causation" issue. Toxic dump sites destroy property value. The rents go down. The groups that need low rent to survive move in. The EPA then accuses the landowners of dumping toxic material in minority neighborhoods. The environmental justice weenies come running with lawyers.

This reminds me of the “food desert” map the USDA did a few years ago where they basically highlighted all of the poor areas so they could funnel more of Obama’s $tash to them. These bureaucracies apparently have too much time and money.

I just looked up my house on the environmental justice map.

I never would have guessed, after living here for six years, that it was such a racist, deadly hellhole.

Throw in ‘disparate impact’ and you have all the cudgels with which the left tries to beat us all into submission.
