EcoJustice: Education, Empowerment and The Environment - Women Matter

by Ellinorianne

This is my first EcoJustice diary and an overwhelming thought because one of the very real impacts of environmental issues has to do with the painfully unfair way hey affect less developed nations and the poor in more developed nations.

Exploitation of resources also means the exploitation of people, their lands, cultures and very existence.  And one of the most pressing issue on resources is also the most difficult to address, population.

As anyone who has taken an environmental class knows, it's presented as the 800 pound gorilla in the room, it's that issue that no one knows how to talk about because it's tied to the very politically charged topic of choice and reproductive freedom.
