Putting a Focus on Community Involvement

With classmates in her environmental justice course taught by Professor Breena Holland, Sarabeth Brockley was tasked with studying the pros and cons of a proposed 48,000-square-foot waste-to-energy incineration plant slated for Allentown, her hometown.  It was a “classic environmental justice case” that was “unfolding before us,” she explains.  The more they learned, the more concerned they became, and what began as a research project shifted to an extended effort at community outreach, engagement, and organizing.
