In this week’s Climate Justice newsletter, we visit neighborhoods where people live, learn, work, and play—and exist side-by-side with some of the worst climate offenders in the nation. First, a new report from the Sierra Club finds that one of the country’s top polluters is in the small town of Gary, IN. How will new regulations better protect residents from their neighbor, the steel plant? Next, is carbon capture a climate solution or yet another environmental threat to vulnerable communities? Fossil fuel companies are lobbying to build carbon injection sites in areas in Louisiana where the residents are predominantly Black, Indigenous, and poor, despite community objections and serious potential health risks. Then, the area of Lahaina, in Maui, was decimated by deadly wildfires this summer. Among the causes of the fires: centuries of settler colonialism and an extractive tourism industry. How might this community embrace sustainable development and regenerative tourism to rebuild and thrive? Finally, our fall climate justice issue of the magazine gives us some food for thought about what our homes and neighborhoods might look like in the future.
