Injustice is experienced simultaneously across distribution, recognition, participation, and functioning.

Evidence

While it is convenient to offer discussions of equity, recognition, participation, and capabilities in distinct sections, above, one very rarely sees movement groups discuss one of these dimensions of justice in isolation. Groups integrate these notions of justice, and while a group may call for equal distribution of environmental risks, it will also complain about the lack of recognition of community members, the lack of participatory opportunities, and/or the decimation of community functioning. As in the discussion of justice on the theoretical level, these notions of justice in the environmental justice movement are thoroughly integrated in practice. Conceptions of justice, and, more importantly, the experiences of injustice, are experienced in numerous ways at once. — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice, 264
