When discussing environmental inequity and degradation, sometimes you do not need to look further than your own backyard. City management, community organizers, and sacrifice zones are just a few key factors that influence day-to-day residential living. Close to Home seeks to investigate the goings-on of Virginia with a critical lens, shedding light on the socio-ecological climate of the state while drawing parallels between incidents of environmental injustice found here and other parts of the world.
