A lot of environmental justice and reconciliation issues are overwhelming to think about as an individual. I really valued our discussion today in ENVR 430 about learning to parse out the three dimensions of (in)justice which has really helped me to think about and articulate the complexities of stories such as those of the fishing of halibut and the reintroduction of sea otters on the west coast of Canada. Knowing to look for distributional, procedural and recognitional injustices has given me a new way to look at and share my thoughts on these tough situations and I feel a lot more confident in participating in discussions with my peers and in online spaces related to these topics. I hope that going forward I can be much more active in seeking information and joining the discourse when it comes to ecological reconciliation.

Hi Sofie! I love the way how you use' overwhelming', it sure is too much for an individual. Love your post!
Hey Sofie! I agree. Those 3 dimensions are a great home base to touch on when evaluating the environmental-impacting decisions that are made in the world around us. Once we all have a basic understanding of them, we can all collectively start recognizing injustices more!
Hey Sophie! I am completely on the same page with how specifically learning about the three dimensions of (in)justice helped me in understanding and organizing the complexities of socio-ecological injustices. Injustices sort of always seemed blatantly apparent but I don't think I always could have pinpointed so clearly why. I hope that in better understanding the types of injustices, we can more effectively work to rectify them.
