It took some time to wrap my brain around this concept but I’m excited to use this to branch out and learn more about how we measure inequality, and to that end, be able to speak to pollution and other environmental burdens on communities that make them more vulnerable than others. If anyone has literature they want to suggest to me on this, I’m all ears!
