The EPA has recently launched an Environmental Justice Screen and Mapping tool.
Go to the following link:
1. Launch the EJ Screen tool.
2. Enter your zip code or an area that you spent a lot of time in. For instance, the zip code is 92019 which is the college zip code.
3. Next you want to go to the left side of the webpage and select “Environmental Burden Indicators” and a drop-down list will provide your options. Select one (I suggest Hazardous Waste Proximity) and a map will show that impact in your area.

4. After you selection and map will open. Take a screenshot of your map and upload (5 points). Example below.
5. Then post a Word or pdf document with your thoughts about living near the amount of hazardous waste around you. (5 points).
