Environmental Justice in California: An Analysis on the Correlation Between Toxic Release and Population Distribution

Environmental Justice is a movement that was born in the early 1980s to assure fair distribution of environmental risks and benefits (Bullard 1996). In many occasions, minority communities are more affected by environmentally hazardous substances and activities than other population groups. This normally happens because they either ignore the problem or have less power to have an opinion about it (Cutter 2006).
