Introduction To achieve a more sustainable world, everyone's cooperation and participation are essential. Therefore, equal rights for all is important, especially the equal rights gained from our everyday environment and the natural environment which, together, constitutes the so-called environment. To achieve equality, the concept of environmental justice was developed, which originates from the unequal distribution of toxic pollutants in an African-American community. Being a continuous process of definition, environmental justice has expanded to multiple issues and aspects, including horizontally and vertically. We are also moving from a rather anthropocentric vision to a greater emphasis on the natural environment and the relationship between man and the environment, which is on the road towards a sustainable world. However, some controversies have also been generated, an intrinsically generated question about justice is illustrated here. Origin and Expansion of Environmental Justice Environmental justice emerged primarily in the United States, raised by a campaign against the imposition of toxic substances and pollutants in a minority community. Early on, environmental justice simply referred to distributive justice, specifically the unequal distribution of environmental risk (Schlosberg, 2013). In particular, environmental impacts and risks are always disproportionately distributed among poor and minority communities, which also points to an initial focus: racism in environmental justice (Cole & Foster, 2001; Mohai, Pellow, & Timmins, 2009) . At the time, it is still anthropocentric and with little attention to the natural environment and the relationship between humans and the environment (Harding, Hendriks, & Faruqi, 2009; Schlosberg,...... middle of paper ..... .aswan , A.
