Environmental justice refers to an equitable spatial distribution of burdens and benefits to groups such as racial minorities, residents of economically disadvantaged areas, or residents of developing nations. Environmental justice emerged as a concept in the United States in the early 1980s. Environmental justice proponents generally view the environment as encompassing "where we live, work, and play" and seek to redress inequitable distributions of environmental burdens. Root causes of environmental injustices include "institutionalized racism; the co-modification of land, water, energy and air; unresponsive, unaccountable government policies and regulation; and lack of resources and power in affected communities".
