The Sustainability Hub

        The Equitable Sustainability Literacy Guide (ESLG) is a website that was created by students at Binghamton University to educate you on environmental justice! Environmental Justice is the movement to bring equity and sustainability to all groups of people. ESLG was supported by a Carnegie-Whitney Grant from the American Library Association and by the Binghamton University Libraries! 

        Through the Binghamton University Libraries, lots of research was done to provide information on the significant impact of climate change and environmental hazards on various marginalized groups. Under the Environmental Justice tab, read topics such as "Environmental Racism" and "Indigenous Rights"! Each page is complete with a history of the injustice, social and environmental, a timeline of events, and suggestions on how you can make a difference! Then, click on the Resources tab for further vocabulary, books, articles, videos, podcasts, or learning tools! Also check out the Get Involved section, Debunking Myths section, and News section for more on Environmental Justice!
