In 1991, a new breed of environmental activists gathered in Washington, D. C. , to bring national attention to pollution problems threatening low-income and minority communities. Leaders introduced the concept of environmental justice, protesting that Black, poor and working-class communities often received less environmental protection than White or more affluent communities. The first National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit effectively broadened what "the environment" was understood to mean. It expanded the definition to include where we live, work, play, worship and go to school, as well as the physical and natural world. In the process, the environmental justice movement changed the way environmentalism is practiced in the United States and, ultimately, worldwide.
Because many issues identified at the inaugural summit remain unaddressed, the second National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit was convened in Washington, D. C. , this past October. The second summit was planned for 500 delegates; but more than 1,400 people attended the four-day gathering.
选项
答案
1991年,一个环境激进主义分子的新组织聚集在华盛顿特区让全国对环境污染问题进行关注,这些污染威胁着低收入者和少数群体。领导人介绍了环境争议的概念,抗议黑人、穷人和工人阶级经常受到比白人或富裕群体少的环境保护。第一届全国有色人种环境领袖峰会拓宽了过去理解的环境的概念。这次峰会扩大了环境的定义,包括我们生活、工作、玩耍、敬神、上学,还有物质和自然世界等地方。在此过程中,环境正义运动改变了环境保护主义论在美国,以及最终在全世界实行的方法途径。 由于在首届首脑会议上许多支持的论点仍未处理,去年10月份在华盛顿特区召开了第二届全国有色人种环境领袖峰会。第二届峰会计划有500名代表,但1400多人参加了为期4天的集会。
