WASHINGTON - President-elect Joe Biden is vetting three environmental justice leaders to head up the White House agency that will take the lead in coordinating efforts to safeguard communities disproportionately affected by pollution, according to sources familiar with the process.
The shortlist for head of the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) signals a focus by the incoming Biden administration on environmental policies that aim to ensure improved clean air and water for poor and minority communities that have historically taken the brunt of industrial pollution.
The Biden transition team is considering Mustafa Santiago Ali, Cecilia Martinez and Brenda Mallory to lead the CEQ, according to three sources familiar with the process. The position requires Senate confirmation.
Ali is vice president for environmental justice at the National Wildlife Federation and a former senior adviser for environmental justice at the Environmental Protection Agency.
Martinez is an adviser to the Biden team handling the transition at CEQ, and is president of the Center for Earth, Energy and Democracy, an organization that provides research to environmental justice groups.
She did not confirm if she was being vetted, and downplayed the possibility she would be picked.
Mallory is head of regulatory affairs at the Southern Environmental Law Center and previously served as general counsel for the CEQ.
She said CEQ was the right agency to carry out Biden’s environmental justice agenda because of its oversight of federal environmental permitting and engagement with outside stakeholder groups. But she added that Biden would need to increase the office staff “if environmental justice were to be elevated.”

Wikipedia
Degrowth (French: décroissance) is a term used for both a political, economic, and social movement as well as a set of theories that critiques the paradigm of economic growth.[1] It is based on ideas from a diverse range of lines of thought such as political ecology, ecological economics, feminist political ecology, and environmental justice. Degrowth emphasizes the need to reduce global consumption and production (social metabolism) and advocates a socially just and ecologically sustainable society with well-being replacing GDP as the indicator of prosperity.
We all will be so happy!

I thought “political ecology” sounded bat poop crazy. Then I read further and see “feminist political ecology” and don’t know what to think. LOL. These people are evil and insane.
“Environmental justice”.
*sigh*
I just can’t anymore.
Reuters, AP, Politico all lining up to see which one can bow the lowest to the new Marxist administration. What a pathetic bunch of human garbage!
Gas will be $5/gallon.
“Environmental justice” = “destroy western civilization”
Any word before the word "justice" other than "blind" = tyranny.

Biden’s doing a lot of appointing for someone who couldn’t function over 3 or 4 hours a day during a campaign. Who’s appointing all these people?
