How has it impacted environmental justice issues? aaronrhea https://padlet.com/aaronrhea/l93smo84jhmfxm2z/wish/729167533 Redlining is sanctioning off certain areas of districts that have harder climate effects on them. It has impacted environmental issues because low income areas become the worst but they can't make much of a difference because they're stricken with poverty. ]]> 2020-09-08 20:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/aaronrhea/l93smo84jhmfxm2z/wish/729167533 Part 3: 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?Additionally, are the problems described in these articles engineering problems? aaronrhea https://padlet.com/aaronrhea/l93smo84jhmfxm2z/wish/729173039 Prior to reading the articles I didn't know anything about Globeville. I have not been to it but after reading about it I don't want to go. It sounds pretty diverse and a lot of history but something is off to me. The problems described are not engineering problems, they are racial issues. ]]> 2020-09-08 20:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/aaronrhea/l93smo84jhmfxm2z/wish/729173039 Part 4: 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? aaronrhea https://padlet.com/aaronrhea/l93smo84jhmfxm2z/wish/729178882 No, in terms of engineering I don't think they play a role in racism. I think it is a societal problem but engineers don't have anything to do with it. ]]> 2020-09-08 20:53:35 UTC https://padlet.com/aaronrhea/l93smo84jhmfxm2z/wish/729178882
