Environmental Justice Screening Tool

The Alliance can also utilize resources such as the Environmental Justice Screening Tool, which identifies various stressors and demographics of communities that might impact environmental conditions or residential health of the area. The button above will take you to the MiEJScreen application.

By creating an informative brochure, leaders can raise awareness about the importance of equitable rain gardens, while also learning about local work in the environmental justice field.

Community events such as a rain garden information sessions or festivals that promote rain gardens in marginalized communities additionally seek to support and empower those most impacted by environmental harms.
