Environmental Injustice in STL, an evening educational program hosted in partnership by your local US Green Building Council (USGBC) – Missouri Gateway Chapter and National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) St. Louis Gateway Professionals.
The Environmental Racism in St. Louis report calls out environmental racism as—“the disproportionate impact of environmental hazards on people of color” —in St. Louis. While these disparities have been part of the long-standing discriminatory and profit-driven policies and practices known too well by black St. Louisans, the issue of environmental racism has rarely been addressed in the City (Environmental Racism in St. Louis report). At USGBC-Missouri Gateway Chapter we are here to change that and advocate for systemic changes to remedy these injustices and enhance public health with green building practices.
On Tuesday, March 9, 2021 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm we will be hosting a panel presentation on the overall effects racism has on community health with a focus on St. Louis. Each speaker will dive into specific sectors of our local environmental racism – air pollution, racism by design – the urban heat island effect, waste and illegal dumping, and other major environmental issues that have a disparate effect on the health of minorities and other disadvantaged community members.
