Abstract
This article describes how an environmental justice (EJ) mapping tool guide was developed to assist communities, educators, students, and environmental practitioners to help investigate and identify environmental issues by bringing awareness to racial, economic, and health disparities in New York State. The Guide helps to increase accessibility to 23 free publicly available tools with the goal of strengthening EJ literacy in general and may eventually inform more equitable outcomes in environmental planning through the visualization of racial, economic, and health disparities alongside environmental disparities. The process for creating The Guide, outcomes, and limitations are discussed.
