The Impact

Insofar as race, class, and gender have profound effects on people’s environmental experiences, and consequently their activism, the environmental field needs more work on the environmental experiences and insights of groups whose voices have been missing, including youth of color who live in urban areas in the U.S. In this paper, we focus on African American and Latinx students engaged in environmental projects in their urban communities and the impact of such projects on promoting pro-environmental leadership, agency, and behavior. We draw from written reflections and focus group interviews of several hundred 4th–12th graders (majority middle- and high-school students) who participated in place-based civic science projects. Thematic analyses of student responses found that students engaged in work on local environmental issues cultivated an appreciation for the natural world and an understanding of human-nature interdependence and the ties between the local environment and their communities’ health. Through taking action with others in their communities, students viewed themselves as contributors to their communities and started to form environmental identities in ways that are not traditionally measured. Findings point to the need for forms of environmental education that are contextually grounded and centered on environmental justice in urban areas.

The Impact

Abstract The impact of institutional pressure on the environmental strategy was analyzed and the heterogeneous choices available for corporate environmental strategy. A total of 597 publicly listed companies in heavily polluting industries were selected using multiple Logit models for empirical research. The results show that more companies choose environmental leadership strategies when the policy pressure is greatest; however, more companies choose pollution prevention strategies when the regulatory and public pressures are greatest; finally, organizations with more redundant resources and strong asset specificity are more inclined to choose environmental leadership strategies as institutional pressures increase. The findings provide a decision-making framework to promote environmental protection measures related to policy formulation, government supervision and public participation. Our study also provides empirical evidence to guide environmental strategic choices for heavily polluting enterprises.
