Environmental Justice!

Today, I attended the EJ League of RI's first community meeting. The aim of the event was to get the community, people from all parts of Rhode Island, together to talk about our concerns within our environment. And our environment being where we: live, work, play, and pray. 

By the end of the discussion, we were able to walk away with 3 main topics to focus on:

1. Healthy Food
   
2. Healthy Homes 
   
3. Green Jobs

The 2nd one is of special interest to me, because I'll be working with high school students on a healthy homes project this summer with a pilot for a home re-decorating show for families shouldering environmental burdens. It was great to connect with some community members and talk about the idea and what role design can play in making healthy changes in our lives. ... but more on this project later!
