This mixed-methods quasiexperimental study examined the role of community psychology in relation to increasing problems of climate change, environmental racism, sustainable food production programs, and ecojustice. Green space and environmentally sustainable programs are increasingly popular examples of community service activities that can provide multiple ecologically sustainable benefits, including protecting limited natural resources and reducing carbon emissions and also facilitate community empowerment among vulnerable and Persons of Color and Indigenous groups. A significant (r = 0.869, p < 0.01) correlation was determined between engagement in green community service work (CSW) activities (i.e., a community fruit tree planting project among the Indigenous people of the Lower Sioux Tribal Nation), perceptions of community empowerment, and likelihood of participating in future CSW activities. Results of the study may be particularly appropriate for community organizers, educators, and stakeholders who are engaged and committed in the development of environmentally sustainable programs. In addition, the results of this study are both useful and viable in that they provide mechanisms to improve community health and empowerment in the development of sustainable community gardens and fruit tree orchards. Suggestions for future areas of study (including the development of community vegetable gardens, native prairie plants, and fruit tree orchards) are offered.
这项混合方法的准实验研究考察了社区心理学在气候变化、环境种族主义、可持续粮食生产计划和生态正义等日益严重的问题中的作用。绿色空间和环境可持续项目是社区服务活动中越来越受欢迎的例子,它们可以提供多种生态可持续效益,包括保护有限的自然资源和减少碳排放,还可以促进弱势群体、有色人种和土著群体的社区赋权。参与绿色社区服务工作(CSW)活动(即下苏族部落国家土著居民的社区果树种植项目)、社区赋权的感知和参与未来CSW活动的可能性之间存在显著(r = 0.869, p < 0.01)的相关性。这项研究的结果可能特别适用于社区组织者、教育工作者和致力于环境可持续发展项目的利益相关者。此外,这项研究的结果既有用又可行,因为它们提供了改善社区健康的机制,并在可持续社区花园和果园的发展中赋予权力。对未来的研究领域(包括发展社区菜园、原生草原植物和果树果园)提出了建议。

Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate pesticide that has been widely used in agricultural and residential contexts since its introduction in 1965. Policies surrounding chlorpyrifos use changed dramatically over the past two decades. In 2021, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) limited applications to nonfood uses. The EPA's recent policy implementation was catalyzed by research findings published over a decade ago, citing the impacts of chlorpyrifos exposure on the developing nervous system. In this historical essay, we briefly outline the uses and hazards of chlorpyrifos and the factors influencing regulatory guidelines and policy implementation. Using an environmental justice framework, we present the story of chlorpyrifos as a case study of broader trends in the history of environmental hazards and pollution regulation, where regulatory interference allows companies to profit while those outside of the market pay the price. In the case of chlorpyrifos, corporate-funded research on the safety of the pesticide formed the basis for its continued usage. Meanwhile, people who are poor, belong to a racial and ethnic minority, and/or who work in agriculture face disproportionate rates of exposure, giving rise to disparate neurodevelopmental outcomes. In this way, the story of chlorpyrifos regulation is an example of how health inequities can remain entrenched in disenfranchised communities across the United States.
