1. As you view these environmental justice frameworks, what connections can you make with Michigan and Great Lakes water issues discussed today?

1. Do you see any shortcomings in these models, or areas not mentioned that you feel should be addressed?

1. Today we learned how some groups of people are more affected than other by environmental issues. For example, indigenous groups. Addressing this is seen in these frameworks, as they are aimed at creating equality and support systems within water justice.

The framework calls for a right to water for all, yet still allows for municipal water supply sources to shut off water to citizens.

1) The Michigan and Great Lakes water issues are connected to the concept of implementing a basic right to water for all and water accessibility. While the framework outlines an equal right to water, we learned about a lack of water access for groups who are economically disadvantaged.

We learned about ways to move forward regarding environmental injustices and I think the framework touches on ways to improve

Many of these frameworks cover the ecological, economic, and health-related issues we talked about today relevant to protecting humans and the environment around these bodies of water. The Oregon Water Justice relates a lot to all the topics we covered today including Indigenous rights to water and land, water accessibility, and storm surge preparedness.

I think the Walking Water Framework is central to environmental justice because a lot of the examples we looked at today included examples where problems were arising because there wqas no accountability to existing laws.

I think one of the strengths of the model is focusing on returning the rights to access to indigenous groups and protecting local ecosystems. Indigenous groups have an important historic relationship with local watersheds and waterways and understand the nuances of the systems, and will make sure to preserve their health.

The Walking Water Framework is a strong, overarching framework that addresses a lot of different, important environmental justice considerations. This includes the ecosystem, Indigenous rights, policy, self-sufficiency, and accountability. Wide-ranging frameworks like this one will be really important.

I think natural and built infrastructure for clean water framework is key to many of the water issues which plague the system. It seems to be the root cause of many issues, and is likely biased towards lower income areas, as they are more likely to have less adequate infrastructure. This creates a loop of inequitable water access.

I think that the rooted democracy framework is very relevant to the Flint water crisis which we have learned a lot about in the past few weeks. Both sides of this diagram exemplify important aspects of this crisis. Flint needed better common resource management to better assess how to provide the citizens of flint with water, or figure out how to best avoid using river water instead of lake water. Also, a lot of the issues in flint stem from systemic racism and ignorance of the poor, African-american communities in flint that were most impacted by this crisis.

From what we have learned in class, I would say the most important thing in these frameworks is the basic right to water and water access& affordability
