‘What an absolutely phenomenal resource! Jinnah, Dubreuil, Greene and Foster have pulled together an incredible and diverse collection of experiments, projects, practices, and reflections on teaching environmental justice. There is so much here to motivate, engage, and inspire students – and to address the injustices they face. I can’t wait to get it into the classroom.’
