Community based collaboration for environmental justice: south-east Halifax environmental reawakening
Open accessAbstract
The paper describes environmental racism and its underlying causes and then presents a case study of environmental racism in the United States where a toxic dump and large hog production factories are systematically sited in poorer areas. These are also areas with an above average proportion of African Americans and American Indians. The paper also describes a programme of environmental awakening in one area to fight environmental racism and to support isolated, rural and semi-rural communities in their efforts to recover environmental values. This programme includes community workshops; environmental health consultations; a quantitative analysis of environmental justice; seminars to raise awareness of environmental health; and festivals and other means of promoting greater awareness of the main environmental issues.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
