2. The following definition of environmental justice is taken from Bryant B (ed). Environmental Justice: Issues Policies and Solutions Washington DC:Island Press 1995;6. Environmental Justice: Environmental justice (EJ) is broader in scope that environmental equity. It refers to those cultural norms and values rules regulations behaviors policies and decisions to support sustainable communities where people can interact with confidence that their environment is safe nurturing and productive. Environmental justice is served when people can realize their highest potential without experiencing the `isms.' Environmental justice is supported by decent paying and safe jobs; quality schools and recreation; decent housing and adequate health care; democratic decision-making and personal empowerment; and communities of violence drugs and poverty. These are communities where both cultural and biological diversity and respected and highly revered and where distributed justice prevails.
