Companies Have Been Put on Notice to Focus on Environmental Justice Jun 29, 2021 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has long volleyed back and forth from being a lukewarm environmental enforcer to serving as a friend of industry, depending on who has been in charge at the White House. Meanwhile, many communities of color have long suffered due to the lack of effective policies centered around environmental justice. But last week, the EPA announced that the agency will soon provide $50 million for environmental justice initiatives through funds made available under the American Rescue Plan (ARP). As a response to the ongoing pandemic, the U.S. Congress has set aside such funding for grants, contracts and programs that identify and take on environmental or public health threats in underserved communities.
