Privilege is being in a place of ignorance not having to know about racisim in envrionmental activism.  Weforum.org states it is "a form of systemic racism whereby communities of colour are disproportionately burdened with health hazards through policies and practices that force them to live in proximity to sources of toxic waste such as sewage works, mines, landfills, power stations, major roads and emitters of airborne particulate matter. As a result, these communities suffer greater rates of health problems attendant on hazardous pollutants."

Locally, the City of Tacoma and Citizens for a Healthy Bay teamed up to create the Environmental Justice Leaders Workgroup. It is good to know that local leaders are taking the initiative to coherts of change.

I did not realize that Tacoma had so many food deserts! Thank you for your education today!

I incorporate other "R's" into my lifestyle by using plastic tubs as storage containers. I repurpose glass jars. I repair my clothes. I recycle as much as I can. 

Access to healthy, affordable food can have a big impact on community health, ability to focus and preform well at school and work, and in bringing families together to socialize over food preparation and meals. Spending time and money commuting to grocery stores is an extra burden for low income residents.
