Whether we want to or not, whether we are aware of it or not, our "industrialized" daily lives produce large amounts of environmental harm and environmental racism. Environmental racism is the concept that explains how, globally, the most devastating environmental abuses assail the lives of BIPOC (Black people, Indigenous people and people of color) and their communities. Collectively, we need to organize, demand and create new ways of being in order to become sustainable for future generations and to stop environmental racism. Instructors can engage in this work by introducing and working with the commodity chains that are specific to their discipline and by discussing how these commodity chains, and our involvement with them, produce not only environmental harm, but also environmental racism.
