Eco-Justice Collaborative

Solutions that combine environmental, economic and social justice.

Welcome to Eco-Justice Collaborative ...
Ecological responsibility in linkage with social justice is what the world needs now. Healthy earth community requires advocacy and action on urgent environmental issues in ways that connect with struggles for social and economic justice. Eco-Justice envisions and values ecology and justice together, since there will be little environmental health without socio-economic justice, and vice-versa.- Dieter T. Hessel
