Students in R. Ward Allebach’s Sustainability course are tasked with creating a semester-long project focusing on either sustainability or environmental issues on campus. According to Martina Frederick, her group, “The Ecojustice Allies,” dedicated the semester to addressing environmental racism and injustice on campus and in the city of Pittsburgh.

As part of Pitt’s annual Diversity Forum, the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion hosted the event “Combating Environmental Racism and Injustice” on Thursday to discuss experiences with and perspectives on environmental justice.
