One integrated justice discourse can serve both human and ecological struggles

Evidence

Environmental justice movements that focus on environmental issues within human communities have developed innovative and integrated notions of justice that mirror this theoretical framework. The point here is to extend both that expansive and inclusive theory of justice, and the broad political project, into ecological justice and relations between humans and nonhuman nature as well. Such a project allows us to tackle numerous questions and strategies in the quest to do justice to nature. But, strategically, it also means we can use the same broad discourse of justice in both discussions of environmental problems within human communities and the ecological troubles of the broader natural world. — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice, 552
