Corporate Environmentalism: How Green Is It Actually?, Emma Rotner
Corporate Environmentalism: How Green Is It Actually?, Emma Rotner
Environmental Studies Honors Papers
Beginning in the 1980s, corporations began participating in voluntary environmental initiatives; this phenomenon has come to be known as corporate environmentalism. As corporate environmentalism has evolved, more and more corporations are beginning to participate and are making voluntary environmental initiatives, working with third-party certifiers, and are partnering with environmental NGOs to improve their environmental performances. For my honors thesis, I analyzed the effect the corporate environmentalism is having on corporations’ impacts on the environment and on the environmental movement. I also investigated different methods of corporate accountability, including environmental NGOs, third-party certifiers or certification schemes, and consumers. Using corporate Global …

Climate adaptation for coastal infrastructure projects raises unique challenges because global-scale environmental changes may require similar projects to be completed in many locations over the same time frame. Existing methods to forecast resource demand and capacity do not consider this phenomenon of a global change affecting many localities and the resulting increased demand for resources. Current methods do not relate to the most up-to-date climate science information, and they are too costly or too imprecise to generate global, regional, and local forecasts of “climate-critical resources” that will be required for infrastructure protection. They either require too much effort to create …

Planning For Density In A Driverless World, Sarah J. Fox
Planning For Density In A Driverless World, Sarah J. Fox
IPR Papers & Reports
Automobile-centered, low-density development was the defining feature of population growth in the United States for decades. This development pattern displaced wildlife, destroyed habitat, and contributed to a national loss of biodiversity. It also meant, eventually, that commutes and air quality worsened, a sense of local character was lost in many places, and the negative consequences of sprawl impacted an increasing percentage of the population. Those impacts led to something of a shift in the national attitude toward sprawl. More people than ever are fluent in concepts of “smart growth,” “new urbanism,” and “green building,” and with these tools and others, …
Access To Recreational Open Space In Patterson, Ca: A Geospatial Analysis Utilizing Geographic Information Systems, Leanne S. Lynch
Access To Recreational Open Space In Patterson, Ca: A Geospatial Analysis Utilizing Geographic Information Systems, Leanne S. Lynch
Projects
Many cities throughout California have experienced land use shifts from prime agricultural land to developed industrial and residential areas without considering access to recreational open space. Access to recreation through open space or parks is beneficial for the health and well-being of the community while providing aesthetic value and potential preservation of local ecosystems. Since 2002 the City of Patterson, located in California’s Central Valley, has rezoned over 800 acres of agricultural land for urban and industrial use while developers reserved recreational open space (parkland) at locations inconvenient to existing neighborhoods. Although several acres of parkland have been added to …
Beyond Baby Steps An Empirical Study Of The Impact Of Environmental Justice Executive Order 12898, Elizabeth Ann Glass Geltman, Gunwant Gill, Miriam Jovanovic
Beyond Baby Steps An Empirical Study Of The Impact Of Environmental Justice Executive Order 12898, Elizabeth Ann Glass Geltman, Gunwant Gill, Miriam Jovanovic
Publications and Research
This study evaluated the impact of Executive Order (EO) 12898 to advance environmental justice. We conducted a review evaluating the frequency and effective use of EO 12898 since execution with particular focus following President Obama’s Plan EJ 2014. We found that both EO 12898 and Plan EJ 2104 had little, if any, impact on federal regulatory decision making. To the extent federal agencies discussed EO 12898, most did so in boilerplate rhetoric that satisfied compliance but was devoid of detailed thought or analysis. In the 21st year, with the exception of the Environmental Protection Agency, very little federal regulatory activity …
Drilling For Common Ground: How Public Opinion Tracks Experts In The Debate Over Federal Regulation Of Shale Oil & Gas Extraction, Elizabeth Ann Glass Geltman
Drilling For Common Ground: How Public Opinion Tracks Experts In The Debate Over Federal Regulation Of Shale Oil & Gas Extraction, Elizabeth Ann Glass Geltman
Publications and Research
Public interest in environmental and health impacts from shale oil and gas extraction (what the public calls “fracking”) is growing. Industry claims the public outcry against the new technology is not grounded in science. In February 2013, Resources for the Future (“RFF”) published a list of high priority “risk pathways” that experts from NGOs, academia, government, and industry all agreed were real concerns about fracking. This article used the risk matrix to evaluate whether public comments in dockets of federal agencies that proposed regulation concerning hydraulic fracturing tracked expert concern. The article found that the public tracked many of the …

International Implications Of Lead Poisoning In School Aged Children, Susan Schultz
International Implications Of Lead Poisoning In School Aged Children, Susan Schultz
Education Faculty/Staff Publications
The United States and the World Health Organization have worked to decrease lead exposure in children, but despite these efforts lead poisoning continues to exist in industrialized and developing countries. Prevention is the only way to preclude the health, academic and behavioral problems that occur due to the effects of lead. Public awareness remains a critical factor in prevention as the problem has not gone away, yet research on the effects of lead poisoning on school aged children is largely absent in educational journals. The effect of lead poisoning on health, academics, and behavior is reviewed.

Objectives This research examines the contribution of social ecological factors to the variation in sex offender residence restriction (SORR) violation rates, operationalized as a sex offender residing within a buffer zone around a school or a day care. Methods Drawing on data from two Midwestern states, we utilize a quasi-experimental cohort-control group design to examine the correlates of county-level SORR violation rates among a cohort of post-SORR sex offender parolees, and three counterfactual cohorts (pre-SORR sex offenders, pre- and post-SORR non-sex offender parolees). We model the violation rate using a series of fractional logit regressions, examining the contribution of housing …

Centering the narratives of the intersectional struggles within the HIV movement for Indigenous sovereignty, Black and People of Colour liberation, and LGBTQ rights tirelessly fought for by Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour communities legitimates their lives and legacies within the movement; and the relevance of a focused response to the HIV epidemic that continues to wreak devastation in these communities. The recent political push for a post-HIV era solely centers the realities of middle-class white, gay men and has genocidal implications for Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour communities.

“Seeking Justice Through Unjust Law”: Environmental Justice And The Navajo Nation, Lillian Juliet Bryan
“Seeking Justice Through Unjust Law”: Environmental Justice And The Navajo Nation, Lillian Juliet Bryan
Theses & ETDs
Northern Arizona and southern Utah have historically been home to several Native American tribes, including the Navajo Nation. This region has also seen a large focus on energy development, specifically with mining and power plants. Rainbow Bridge and the Navajo Generating Station are two connected cases that demonstrate environmental injustices to the Navajo Nation. Through archival research, field research, and interviews, this thesis explores industrial developments sustained impacts on the Navajo Nation. Additionally, this thesis highlights the efforts of Navajo grassroot groups working to remedy the negative impact of development on their land and reclaiming their sovereignty and self-determination.
Creating Accesible Maps: A Pilot For The Automatable Geospatial Analysis Of Brownfield Data, Ian Patrick Mcnair
Creating Accesible Maps: A Pilot For The Automatable Geospatial Analysis Of Brownfield Data, Ian Patrick Mcnair
Theses & ETDs
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is used to develop a pilot analysis for the automatable development of distance based brownfield analysis. The pilot was the Phoenix Commercial Park in Alachua County, with a seven mile radius around the brownfield. United States census data were used per census block to provide racial statistics and yearly mean income. Distance based analysis was employed to compare the census blocks based on how much they appeared to be “exposed” to the brownfield and their socioeconomic characteristics. No statistically significant relationships between the demographic characteristics and distance from brownfield. Given that these findings conflict with …

Access And Ownership: An Empowerment Approach To Food Insecurity In Newtown, Sarasota, Paula R. Cooper
Theses & ETDs
This thesis examines how local activists and leaders of governmental and nongovernmental organizations address food insecurity in the Newtown neighborhood in Sarasota, Florida. Food insecure households are defined by the United States Department of Agriculture as those that have insufficient economic means or other resources to acquire enough food for their entire household. There are nine areas in Sarasota that have a high concentration of households that struggle with food insecurity. Newtown is one of these areas. This thesis adds to the existing literature on food insecurity by using empowerment as a theoretical framework to study programs designed to address …

Farmed And Wild-Caught Shrimp In Kentucky And South Carolina: Consumer Preference For Homegrown By Heroes, Community Supported Fishery, And Other Quality Attributes, Graham T. Soley
Theses and Dissertations--Agricultural Economics
As information regarding origin, production method, and environmental certifications characterize a progressing seafood market, scare analysis has been made to understand market responses. This study focuses on consumer preference for wild-caught and farm-raised shrimp with several attributes. These include the Homegrown By Heroes label and Best Aquaculture Practices certification, as well as other existing attributes including the Marine Stewardship Council and each state’s local label. Also considered are hypothetical labels including Community Supported Fishery (CSF) and National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This study surveys consumers in Kentucky and South Carolina while utilizing a choice experiment to elicit willingness-to-pay measures …
From Patient Rights To Health Justice, Lindsay Wiley
From Patient Rights To Health Justice, Lindsay Wiley
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
Models emphasizing professional autonomy, patient rights, market power, and health consumerism are no longer adequate to address the increasingly social, collective nature of health law institutions, instruments, and norms. What is needed is a new model that expressly recognizes the public-alongside the patient, the provider, and the payer-as an important stakeholder and active participant in decisions about medical treatment, health care coverage, and allocation of scarce resources. In a previous article, the author looked to the environmental justice, reproductive justice, and food justice movements for inspiration in developing a "health justice" approach to eliminating social disparities in health. This Article …
Integrating Climate Change Resilience Into Hud’S Disaster Recovery Program, Justin Gundlach, Channing R. Jones
Integrating Climate Change Resilience Into Hud’S Disaster Recovery Program, Justin Gundlach, Channing R. Jones
Sabin Center for Climate Change Law
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)’s community development block grant disaster recovery program (CDBG-DR) can better and more clearly incorporate climate resilience and adaptation priorities. This article identifies and analyzes the statutes that have guided HUD's approach to disaster recovery to date, as well as forms of “soft guidance” issued by HUD for use by various stakeholders, including both HUD CDBG-DR program officers and the state and local officials that interact with them. Comparing these materials reveals a tension between the requirement that all projects funded by CDBG-DR “tie back” to the most recent disaster, and the logic …
