Week 14/15 Padlet by Patrick Gehan https://padlet.com/patrickgehan/3nf9rby3cd2tvcmm Made with swagger en-us 2020-12-07 22:01:49 UTC 2020-12-08 02:22:00 UTC hello@padlet.com What is redlining? How has it impacted environmental justice issues? patrickgehan https://padlet.com/patrickgehan/3nf9rby3cd2tvcmm/wish/996209538 Redlining is the practice of concentrating minorities into ever poorer neighborhoods to make them easier to ignore. These areas that have been designed to entrap residents without the power to demand change provide space for violations of basic environmental justice violations to gen unaddressed. ]]> 2020-12-07 22:02:41 UTC https://padlet.com/patrickgehan/3nf9rby3cd2tvcmm/wish/996209538 What did you know about Globeville prior to reading these articles? Have you ever been to or driven through Globeville before, and are your impressions of it changed by the information you have just learned? Did these articles remind you of similar issues from any other area of places you have visited or lived? patrickgehan https://padlet.com/patrickgehan/3nf9rby3cd2tvcmm/wish/996224739 I did not know about Globeville prior to reading these articles. I have never been to Globeville so my impression of it could not have changed. The idea of redlining does remind me of places in Dallas where the construction of buildings abruptly changes and you can't see anything but single story concrete buildings in every direction. ]]> 2020-12-07 22:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/patrickgehan/3nf9rby3cd2tvcmm/wish/996224739 Do engineers and scientists have a role to play in lessening or fixing the issues of environmental justice and environmental racism? If yes, what are some specific ways Mines graduates might play a role in solutions to these problems in the future? patrickgehan https://padlet.com/patrickgehan/3nf9rby3cd2tvcmm/wish/996226632 Yes. The purpose of an engineer is to design systems that solve problems. Mines graduates can specifially solve these problems by designing systems that directly address issues of environmental inequality, not just push the consequences onto the group least able to complain. ]]> 2020-12-07 22:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/patrickgehan/3nf9rby3cd2tvcmm/wish/996226632
