How to build an equitable and just climate future | Peggy Shepard
Everyone has the right to a clean environment — but major disparities exist when it comes to who faces the consequences of pollution. Environmental justice leader Peggy Shepard points to the disproportionate impact that hazardous environmental conditions have on Black, brown and Indigenous communities and challenges us to build a truly equitable future that turns "sacrifice zones" — where community health is sacrificed for the sake of development — into "green zones" that redress the legacy of pollution and harmful policies.For a chance to give your own TED Talk, fill out the Idea Search Application: ted.com/ideasearch.

"We can make fashion sustainable, and we're going to do it with science," Widmaier says.For a chance to give your own TED Talk, fill out the Idea Search Application: ted.com/ideasearch.
