Henry: Dad, if you had to choose between ending racial injustice or environmental problems, what would you choose? Me: Well, thats quite a question. Fred: You cant separate them. Me: Right, I agree. Henry: I know, but you have to choose one. Me: Some in the environmental movement say that if we dont address the planetary crises were facing, nothing else that we care about will matter. But Im wary of that answer, especially for those of us who are white. Henry: Heres how I see it. If you choose the environment, then you still have racism. But if there were racial justice, then we would all work together to solve the environmental crisis.
