conversation with author Daniel Faber based on his book, "Capitalizing
on Environmental Injustice: The Polluter-Industrial Complex in the Age
of Globalization" (Rowman & Littlefield, 2008). "Capitalizing..."
is a comprehensive assessment of the environmental justice movement,
examining the achievements and challenges confronting the movement,
along with an emphasis on new strategies of environmental
problem-solving and innovations in environmental policy. <a href="http://encuentro5.org/home/sites/default/files/flyer-2009-01-15_0.pdf">Download flyer here.</a>

the faculty of Northeastern University, Daniel Faber has studied
environmental injustice and called attention to radical inequalities.
In 2001, Faber found that “If you live in a community of color in
Massachusetts, for example, the chances are 19 times higher that you
live in one of the 25 most environmentally-burdened communities in the
state.” He is also an expert on corporate influence over public policy.</p>
