Ecological-space distribution can serve social and ecological justice at once.

Evidence

The discussion of the use of a concept of ecological space in a distributional theory of social justice is one key way we can extend the conception of distributional justice to include the natural world. Here, the use of nature is brought into the everyday calculus of redistributive justice, into a consideration of what is distributed, and what the costs to both humans and the natural world that distribution brings. Staying within the bounds of liberalism, it focuses on what everyone needs to live the type of life they value and desire. Yet beyond fair distribution, the concept also introduces sustainability, or at least the full ecological costs of such life choices; it has an eye toward both social and ecological justice. — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice, 387
