Article Evaluation
The first sentence of the "Environmental Justice" article talks about when the term emerged in the United States, but does not describe how it emerged in the subsequent sentences. To make the first paragraph stronger, perhaps a sentence about how/why it emerged would be beneficial. The second sentence of this article is a very long, run on sentence and can be broken down into two sentences. When reading this sentence, I get lost after the first point made.

In the "definition" section, the use of multiple definitions is good. The first sentence of the second paragraph can be restructed to become more fluid.

In the section "environmental discrimination", racism and discrimination are discussed. Perhaps here would be a good place to also talk about environmental racism (with an added link to the environmental racism Wikipedia page).

In the section, "contributions of the Civil Rights Movement", the subheading, "similar goals and tactics" has a quotation included without a citation. To avoid plagarism, a citation should be included after the quotation.

The section titled "affected groups" should have subheadings to make it easier for the reader to follow along. Each paragraph that discusses a different group affected by environmental injustices should have its own heading. For instance, the second paragraph covers how African America people are affected, thus the subheading could be "African Americans".

The section titled "around the world", more information should be included under the sections "in australia" and "in ecuador" if information is accessible. In the subsection "in ecuador", a link to a site that does not exist is included and should be removed or replaced. "In Ecuador" also only gives an example of an environmental injustice but does not discuss the movement or meaning in broader terms. The subsection titled "building of alternatives to climate change" does not include a citation after the information given.

This article may use original research in some of the sections which reduces the neutrality of the content. Secondary sources should be used to help reduce some of the bias present when using original research.
