Great Environmental Speeches.

Listed below are the some wonderful people who have given incredibly moving environmental speeches and short films. Click on the links to watch them.

1. Majora Carter, Greening the Ghetto.

Environmental justice goes something like this: no community should be saddled with more environmental burdens and less environmental benefits than any other. 

2. Van Jones, The Economic Injustice of Plastic.

You arrive at a very troubling, but also very helpful insight: in order to trash the planet, you have to trash people. But if you create a world where you don't trash people, you can't trash the planet. 

3. Annie Leonard, 2009 Bioneers Speech, as well as a variety of short environmental films, including the Story of Stuff.

The people who bear the biggest brunt of these toxic chemicals are the factory workers, the majority of whom are women of reproductive age. Now, I ask you, what kind of woman of reproductive age would work in a job exposed to reproductive toxins, except one who had no other option?

4. Charles Moore, Plastic Pollution in the Ocean.

Throwaway plastics take up a lot of space and don't biodegrade. Only we humans make waste that nature can't digest.
