Environmental racism in Europe

Environmental racism is a problem that affects many people in Europe and around the world. It’s when certain places and communities get more pollution and less resources than other places. In Europe, environmental racism usually happens when communities or places with a lot of minority people or people from lower-income backgrounds are the ones dealing with the most pollution and other environmental issues - like air pollution, water contamination, and other problems with the environment. This means that these places often have worse air, water, and land than other places with more money or less minority people. This can be really dangerous to the people living there and hurt their health. It's not fair to everyone, and something needs to be done to help fix this.
