Environmental Social Justice Interviews

Tennessee is faced with a crisis that their landfills are nearing capacity, primary due to excessive packaging materials and the lack of resources to effectively recycle them. Senator Heidi Campbell is promoting the Tennessee Waste Reduction and Recycling Act, a bipartisan bill designed to reduce excess waste from landfills and promote recycling. The legislation, which is supported by the Sustainable Food Policy Alliance, is intended to shift many costs of recycling to the companies who produce the packaging, ultimately improving recycling and increase recycling opportunities for Tennessee communities. ๐‘ต๐’ ๐‘บ๐’‰๐’‚๐’Ž๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ, ๐‘ต๐’ ๐‘ฉ๐’๐’‚๐’Ž๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐‘ฌ๐’—๐’†๐’“๐’š ๐‘ณ๐’Š๐’•๐’•๐’๐’† ๐‘ฉ๐’Š๐’• ๐‘ฏ๐’†๐’๐’‘๐’”TM #Waste #Recycle #Packaging #Sustainablepackaging #EnvironmentalJustice #Circularity #Impact #SocialImpact #EnvironmentalSocialJustice #WasteReduction @environmentalsocialjustice @senatorheidicampbell9259

TerraGraphics International Foundation (TIFO) is an interdisciplinary team of scientists that applies environmental cleanup and health intervention methodologies to help low and middle-income countries affected by mining, recycling sites, industrial operations, and legacy sites. TIFOโ€™s work addresses environmental health issues in low-income countries that have inherited environmental diseases exported from high-income nations. The struggles to achieve healthy communities are real; their cleanup model includes community engagement; training and employing local workers; adapting proven interventions to local socio-economic realities; securing diverse funding for activities; and including responsible government and industry contributions that are sustainable and attentive to the underlying poverty that facilitated the original polluting activities. ๐‘ต๐’ ๐‘บ๐’‰๐’‚๐’Ž๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ, ๐‘ต๐’ ๐‘ฉ๐’๐’‚๐’Ž๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐‘ฌ๐’—๐’†๐’“๐’š ๐‘ณ๐’Š๐’•๐’•๐’๐’† ๐‘ฉ๐’Š๐’• ๐‘ฏ๐’†๐’๐’‘๐’”TM #Mining #Pollution #Contamination #Remediation #Cleanup #EnvironmentalJustice #Circularity #HealthandWellness #Resilience #CleanAir #Impact #SocialImpact #EnvironmentalSocialJustice @environmentalsocialjustice
