Jaxon Tolbert of Huntsville Environmental Coalition

Jaxon Tolbert, a recent graduate of UAH and member of the Huntsville Environmental Coalition, discusses his capstone project on environmental justice in Huntsville. The project aims to define environmental justice communities by analyzing income, race, and environmental indicators in census tracks. They found that 23 out of approximately 100 census tracks in Huntsville meet the criteria for an environmental justice community. Additionally, they highlight the lack of representation from marginalized communities in sustainability initiatives and emphasize the importance of inclusive community input to avoid excluding those who are not wealthy or have limited resources.
