Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. The Love Canal disaster in the 1970s was a major environmental catastrophe that led to public outcry and the creation of the EPA in 1970. The other events occurred after the EPA's creation.
  2. Exporting waste to other countries is an example of waste - disposal in environmental justice as it often involves sending waste from developed to less - developed countries, raising issues of equity. Responsible management is a positive practice, ignoring regulations is illegal but not a disposal example, and illegal dumping is a local illegal act not as representative of environmental justice in a global waste - disposal sense.
  3. Intersectionality in environmental justice recognizes that environmental issues are compounded by intersecting social categories like race, class, and gender, creating unique challenges for different groups. It does not assume equal distribution, uniform experiences, or homogeneous impacts.

Answer:

  1. a. The Love Canal disaster
  2. a. Exporting waste to other countries
  3. c. Challenges created by intersecting social categories
