Environmental justice
video

This film is an experiment in perspective going against the grain of traditional social stigmas to present an alternative definition for the term "environmentalist." The ideas expressed through the films satirical attitude toward environmentalism approaches the Environmental Justice Movement with a vicious sense of irony.

The environmental justice movement is a highly political widespread coordination to give people of racial minorities, economically disadvantaged, and third world countries the recognition and ability to solve environmental issues that effect them directly, instead of the environmental segregation taking place in political and financial circles who for the most part do not live in the effected areas.

The video relates these ideas by giving an immense sense of power and recognition to people who would otherwise be refferd to as bums. individuals who undoubtedly fit the profile of an environmentally segregated group of people. Though the people featured in the film may or may not be aware of the impact they are making perspective is a powerful thing, and it looks to me like anyone no matter what race, socioeconomic class, or social status can positively effect the environment and deservs rights to decision making processes.
