Environmental change is also a matter of social justice. Results are usually worse in some groups than in others. People with fewer social, economic, and political advantages are more likely to experience the negative effects of pollution, resource depletion, adverse weather, and other environmental problems.

<h3>How are society and environment related?</h3>
  • Communities of color are disproportionately vulnerable to environmental hazards and are much more likely to live in highly polluted areas. More than half of the people who live near waste are people of color.
  • The environmental sociologist emphasizes two key aspects of the relationship between society and the environment: (a) the impact of human activity and decision-making; and (b) the existence and consequences of environmental inequality and environmental racism.
<h3>How does environmental racism affect communities of color?</h3>

Environmental racism is when policies and practices disproportionately expose Black, Indigenous, and Other People of Color (BIPOC) communities to situations of contamination and hazards in their homes, neighborhoods, workplaces, and other parts of their lives.

<h3>How does fossil fuel burning affects environment? </h3>

When fossil fuels burn, large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, are released into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases retain heat in the atmosphere leading to global warming. The average global temperature has already risen by 1°C

From Hebrews 6:13-20:What specific reason does this passage give for God confirming His immutable counsel with an oath?to rebuke
ollegr [7]

Answer:

to place our hope in God's promise to us  

Explanation:

In Hebrews 6: 13-20 we can read about how we can place our hope in God, because he is immutable and totally true, so his promises are real and will happen efficiently and satisfactorily. God made promises to Abram and many other biblical heroes and prophets and kept all promises, because in his name everything is done.

In this case, we can interpret, through this biblical passage, that we can place our hope in God, because his faithfulness is real.
