Modules can be altered, extended, or changed to meet your design needs. You shouldn’t need to write css everytime you want to build a new ui component. By learning the composable building blocks in tachyons, you can quickly start to build out interfaces while writing little to no css.
Environmental justice is a term to describe the distribution of environmental hazards across different social groups. The term is commonly used to describe communities that are adversely impacted by the production or release of hazardous waste, or the siting of polluting or potentially polluting facilities, such as power plants or toxic waste incinerators.
The Environmental Health Perspectives found in a 2012 study that people of color had the highest exposure to airborne particulates than whites. Hispanics were exposed to double the amount of chlorine exposure than whites.
Conclusions: Exposures to PM2.5 components differed by race/ethnicity, age, and SES. If some components are more toxic than others, certain populations are likely to suffer higher health burdens. Demographics differed between populations covered and not covered by monitors.
The Environmental International Team from Yale and Rice University found that pollutant exposure is interlinked with racial segregation.
Based on the 2000 census over 68% of African Americans were within 30 miles of a coal powered plant.
The United Church of Christ Commission on Racial Justice found that African Americans found that over 15 million African Americans were in communities where there was at least 1 abandoned waste site
Our findings support this hypothesis and show alarming racial disparities in toxic exposure, even after accounting for possible structural explanations. At the same time, however, our longitudinal results show the power of public health policies to reduce racial inequities.
A sociologist from the University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry found that most pollutants are generated by a few super polluters than a aggregation of many micropolluters Our findings suggest the possibility that substantial environmental gains may be made through selective environmental enforcement, rather than sweeping initiatives.
