This really is a serious problem

problemAnd so the things that people have an image about Australia, its, its environment, its space, its oceans, are, are on the front line of climate change.

Of course, other places are really suffering as well, and I don't wanna diminish that, but that's one of my own deep personal concerns that we, if we don't crack on and, and limit warming to the something close to the Paris Agreement's limit of one and a half degrees, then we're gonna see, uh, systems unravel, um, and collapse that people really like and love.

Um, it won't just be here, it'll be in many places.

So in 1995, I taught my first environmental justice course with Rachel Carson and Derek Jarman and, uh, Ken Saro-Wiwa.

And, uh, since then, so I've been teaching in this field for about 25 years.

And I would say that, so environmental justice, for those who, who may not be familiar with it, is basically looking at inequalities in access to resources and unequal burdens of, um, harm, unequal burdens of toxicity, for instance.

And we talk about that in terms of biodiversity all the time, but we've only recently started to talk about it in terms of soil, you know, the dirt, the stuff that we depend on.

This really is a serious problem.
