Welcome to our website! We are a group of Tufts University undergraduate students passionate about Environmental Justice and World Literature. After a conversation with survivors of the Dow Chemical disaster advocating for justice in Bhopal, we felt moved to raise further awareness. This multimedia project explores how environmental degradation disproportionately impacts marginalized communities. Throughout the website, we will spotlight the resilience of individuals in sacrifice zones by examining case studies in hopes that the resources provided will encourage you to take tangible action!
Environmental justice for all.
Nature, in the common sense, refers to essences unchanged by man: space, the air, the river, the leaf. Art is applied to the mixture of his will with the same things, as in a house, a canal, a statue, or a picture.
But his operations taken together are so insignificant—a little chipping, baking, patching, and washing—that, in an impression so grand as that of the world on the human mind, they do not vary the result.
Undoubtedly, we have no questions to ask that are unanswerable. We must trust the perfection of the creation so far as to believe that whatever curiosity the order of things has awakened in our minds, the order of things can satisfy. Every man’s condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put.
