After my trip to the UN I started thinking more about climate change and the variety of effects it has on the world. While back home the results of climate change are rises in temperate. Now I realize that environmental justice is a huge part of climate change. Not only in NY, but also everywhere.

After seeing the presentations I came to realize that environmental injustice is a real thing. Not everyone in New York was as effected by climate change as the lower class. I’ve come to realize that environmental injustice is very much happening back home. Now the rises in temperate can be traced back to carbon dioxide being released into the air, which happens when we drive cars, use electricity and so on.  Now the poor aren’t doing all of these things.  While we are sitting at home with out AC’s they are suffering the consequences; they are really experiencing climate change.  Now that I realize this I feel much more strongly about climate change.
