Scenario #2: Social Justice

You live in a neighborhood with an active community organization. You and your neighbors are very concerned about inequity, as the city is spending money on improving road conditions in some areas, but not others. One of your neighbors asked you to join them in attending a Community Action Meeting to address these observations in the form of an informational campaign. By reading the Elm Glen city profile linked in the Supporting Materials section, you will learn about an example that highlights sustainability in action. In the template, you will describe some actionable steps the community group could take for each pillar of sustainability.

Directions:

Based on the scenario based above, respond to each part below by completing the Project Template. Each scenario will require you to demonstrate your understanding of sustainable practices, the potential impacts and influences on decisions made in sustainability, and the actionable steps you could take to address sustainable issues for your chosen group. You will use the Scenario Profiles linked in the Supporting Materials section to support your work on the project. This document contains descriptions of the related group for each scenario, as well as a relevant case study that relates to the sustainability issue.

Specifically, you must address the following:

Part One: Sustainable Practices In this section, you will look at the interconnectedness of environmental issues and human behavior as it relates to your chosen scenario. To do this, you will look at both how the environmental systems in use impact the community as well as how the community use impacts the environmental systems in place. You will also look at the group’s overall bias in addressing sustainability in your community.

Part Two: Profile In this section, you will use a provided profile related to your chosen group to consider how organizations or groups mentioned in the profile have improved (or not improved) their sustainability practices.

• Describe the value of sustainability practices in human and environmental systems.
• What are the short-term benefits of implementing sustainable practices in your chosen group’s related profile?
• What are the long-term benefits of implementing these sustainable practices?

• In what ways did your profile highlight the relationship between sustainable practices and human equity?
• Describe how conflict resolution is used in the profile to support sustainability.
• What examples of conflict resolution were evident in your profile?
• How were the conflicts resolved (or not) in your profile? How did resolving conflicts impact sustainable practices?
• Explain how cultural systems relate to sustainability within the profile.
• What cultural systems were predominant in your profile? What role did culture play in sustainability efforts in your profile?

Part Three: Actionable Steps In this section, you will focus on describing actionable steps related to sustainability for your chosen group. To do this, you will highlight the current state of your chosen group’s sustainability practice and then describe actionable steps for each pillar of sustainability.

• Explain why sustainability improvement is needed in your chosen group.
• What areas of sustainability are needed in your chosen group?
• What are the benefits for your chosen group if they improve sustainability practices?
• Describe how the perspectives of the various stakeholders of your chosen group provide a context to improve sustainability practices related to the concerns of the group.
• How do the perspectives within the group influence efforts made to improve sustainability practices?
• Explain how cultural diversity in your chosen group can be of value in addressing sustainability issues.
• Recommend actionable steps your chosen group could take for each pillar of sustainability.
