Because America is so flush with cash we have millions to flush down the drain on bleeding heart leftist causes.
(TheDC) — Earlier this month the Environmental Protection Agency awarded a $25,000 grant to the Louisiana Bucket Brigade for air-quality sampling, as part of an initiative which is funneling millions annually into local organizations for environmental justice.
According to the EPA, environmental justice is “the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.”
EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson has made environmental justice a priority at the agency, issuing millions of dollars to local and tribal organizations and making plans to reach their aforementioned end.
Due to its ambiguous definition, the amount of money distributed for environmental justice is difficult to track.
In August, the EPA awarded $6.2 million to low-income neighborhoods in national environmental workforce development and job training grants “to recruit, train, and place unemployed, predominantly low-income residents in polluted areas.”
