Nach dem Lesen könnte man diese Frage nochmals aufgreifen um zu vergleichen, in- wiefern die S richtig lagen. Lösungsvorschlag: Environmental racism refers to people being exposed to environmental problems based on their ethnic background. 2 Individuelle Beiträge 3 SB Seite 33 Lösungsvorschlag: The residents of the South Bronx complain that their area is dangerously polluted. This is due to many people living in a small geographical area which is surrounded by busy highways. On top of that, there are also some major industrial companies in the area which produce a lot of waste and emissions. Many people in the area suffer from health problems, particularly respiratory, as a result and find it unfair that such “poorer” areas are exploited in this manner. A trucking company called “Fresh Direct” plans to relocate to the area and this would mean a large increase in the amount of trucks driving through the neighborhood. This would increase the problems and the residents are doing their best to stop it. 4 Hinweis: Diese Aufgabe kann auch in Tabellenform beantwortet werden.
