This article provides many examples of what must be done by environmental managers to combat environmental issues in the host community. The swine industry has repeatedly been known to have many socio-environmental issues involved with its operations. Many of these swine farms are huge in size and do not take into account the people that live in the area. Also, it has been noted that most of the environmental impacts occur in impoverished areas and the farms take no regard for the humans that live near by. This is a case different from community outreach or education, but rather of one where environmental managers must ensure that the community is protected by the actions of such businesses. We must strive to not only educate the community but also work hard to gain support within the company we work for to protect the community it resides in. I find the idea of environmental justice to be of supreme importance to environmental managers and something that we should all embrace and make sure that all people no matter race, religion, or finances are protected from the environmental impacts of our company.
