​The sun may shine indiscriminately but studies show that children of color deal with the effects of pollution a disproportionate amount. We believe all have the right to clean air, water and land. To address these inequities we have to begin with education. Privilege is often invisible to those that hold it. So educating ourselves and those in our network about the disparities that exists is important.We must define environmental justice in our organizations. We must understand how environmental justice affects air and water quality and the health of communities we partner with.

    KWEEN NARRATIVES

    KWEEN stands for Keep Widening Environmental Engagement Narratives.
    Earth KWEEN is dedicated to disrupting the narrative that only white able-bodied people care about the environment and participate in outdoor recreation activities. At Earth KWEEN we are challenging traditional representations of what it means to be outdoorsy by showing a variety of bodies engaged in outdoor spaces. Bodies of size, BIPOC bodies, Gender non-conforming bodies, Bodies with disabilities, etc. all deserve equal representation in the narratives we communicate about outdoor engagement. Are you a KWEEN? Welcome! Here you can Love the Planet and Be yourself.
