Water wars between the people of Israel and herdsmen of Gerar in the book of Genesis, Chapter 26. The resistance of Native Americans to the pillaging of their land and resources at the founding of the United States of America. The refusal to allow a hazardous landfill to be built in the Warren County, a predominantly Black community in North Carolina, giving birth to the modern-day environmental justice movement. The struggle for clean water in places like Flint, MI and Newark, NJ and Jackson, MS. The struggle is real and the fight is on-going. And I'm here for it. My name is Dr. Lesley Joseph, a professor, an environmental engineer, and a fighter for environmental justice in our present day. Every other Tuesday, on this podcast, I explore issues related to environmental justice and the ways in which communities of color are impacted. Each episode will discuss a important environmental justice issue or situation and what we can do to fight for change. Let's learn, grow, and fight for a better world together!

It’s about making sure there is no pollution to distribute. In this episode of the Environmental Justice Lab, I break down the 6th principle of Environmental Justice. The principle demands the cessation of the production of all toxins, hazardous waste, and radioactive materials, and holds producers strictly accountable to the people for detoxification and containment at the point of production. Let's be crystal clear: the burden of pollution doesn’t belong on the backs of Black, Brown, Indigenous, and low-income communities who are forced to live next to toxic facilities. It belongs on the producers — the corporations and industries who profit from poisoning our air, water, and soil. Think about it this way: If CEOs had to live next to their own plants, how quickly would they find cleaner ways to operate? This episode is a call to stop compromising, stop capitulating, and stop letting polluters shift the blame onto the people they’re harming. Environmental justice demands accountability. It demands detoxification. It demands we stop polluting. Tune in, get educated, and get engaged because we’re not wavering.
