Environmental justice organizations are based in and primarily led by people of color and/or low-income people.  They may be working on traditional “green” issues affecting the natural environment, like clean rivers and streams.  However, many environmental justice groups focus on the impact that environmental hazards have on the lives of human beings in impoverished or oppressed communities. For more on environmental justice, see The Environmental Justice Resource Center at Clark Atlanta University.
