Environmental Justice

Different people have various standards for cleanness. For me, I personally prefer to gather garbage in a fixed place and throw it daily. At least, my family does it like this. I hate seeing stuff everywhere in my apartment.

I think, on the one hand, environmental justice indicates respect for others in a public place.For example, my 4-person apartment should be considered as a public place.Each one of us should take the responsibility to keep it clean and tidy. Also, people should care about others' feeling while living together in order to achieve a harmonious living environment. I've been struggled in an unpleasant living condition since the last semester! One of my roommates doesn't respect the rest of us by setting her alarm clock at 3am in the morning!! This is one example of breaking the environmental justice.

On the other hand, environment justice also means an equity concerning living situations among different people in different areas and different social status. It's good to see people enjoy a better environment by gathering together wastes, transferring them to certain places, and recycling them. However, have you ever thought of those people who lives in those certain places? Have you ever thought of those people who work on the wastes? Obviously, it's not fair for them to pay for our better living environment. A better solution might be to call for every single person to reduce their wastes.
