E2I2 provides data-driven insights to help communities tell their environmental justice stories. We use tools like:
• EPA’s Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Program and Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program
• Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) to describe environmental burdens.
• EPA’s EJScreen to compare community data with national and state averages.
• CDC Places health data
• U.S. Census data
We translate data into plain-language reports, interactive presentations, and cloud-based portals—empowering communities with data literacy training for effective advocacy.
Current and recent projects:
Georgia (Healthy Communities of Augusta & Savannah Riverkeeper): We mapped pollution data with racial and economic demographics to assess the disproportionate impacts of polluting industry on majority racial minority and low-income communities. See our work here: Augusta at Risk – Savannah Riverkeeper
Mississippi (Dogwood Alliance and GridEquity): We are conducting a comparative analysis of the environmental and health impacts of a biomass facility.
