Abstract
Opening Paragraph|For years, the environment has been thought of in terms of the natural world. The environment has been kept separate from social studies and explored as a natural science. While it is true that the environment is all around us and does include the natural world, the unnatural world like houses, landfills, and garbage are a part of the environment as well. Humans impact the human-made world just as much as the natural world. Some individuals and communities have better access to a good environment while others do not. This was finally broken down and explained by the concept of environmental justice and the movement built from it.
