Environmental Racism in the Beauty Industry According to Greenaction.org, environmental racism refers to “the institutional rules, regulations, policies or government and/or corporate decisions that deliberately target certain communities resulting in being disproportionately exposed to toxic and hazardous waste based upon race.” Environmental racism can be due to intentional neglect or a lack of institutional power, but the undeniable result is that these communities just don’t have access to the same resources....
