Framework for Environmental Justice<br />
The environmental justice framework is<br />
an attempt to uncover underlying issues<br />
that contribute to record-breaking pollution<br />
levels in industrial cities and overexploitation<br />
of our ecosystem. We believe<br />
all individuals and communities have the<br />
“right” to be protected from environmental<br />
deterioration. This will continue to be<br />
a predominant focus for E-<strong>Logs</strong> Technology,<br />
in addition to extra safety precautions<br />
and community health.<br />
Surely, achieving this vision will help<br />
vulnerable, environmentally burdened,<br />
and economically disadvantaged ecosystems<br />
become healthier, cleaner, and<br />
more sustainable. Also, by better understanding<br />
these explicit dangers, we can<br />
promote environmental justice. In light of<br />
never before seen pollution levels, don’t<br />
you think it’s time to do what we can to<br />
keep our earth clean? E-<strong>Logs</strong> wants to<br />
make that easy for you!<br />
Environmental Justice<br />
Commonly, low income areas bear the brunt of environmental issues. On<br />
February 11, 1994, President Bill Clinton signed Executive Order 12898,<br />
creating a federal Environmental Justice (EJ) program. The program addresses<br />
environmental issues in minority and low-income populations.<br />
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines environmental justice<br />
as, "The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people ... with respect<br />
to ... environmental laws, regulations, and policies. According to the Clinton<br />
Administration, fair treatment means that “no group of people... should bear a<br />
disproportionate share of negative environmental consequences..."<br />
Environmental justice is all about being fair and giving everyone a seat at the<br />
table. With this in mind, E-<strong>Logs</strong> Technology has developed a sustainable<br />
method of detection that monitors and records emissions. Additionally, it determines<br />
emission levels in natural gas powered vehicles. Low cost sensors record<br />
a vehicle's carbon dioxide emission levels. By better monitoring greenhouse<br />
gases, we provide better air quality for everyone. Consequently, our technology<br />
will promote environmental responsibility and justice.<br />
