Government policies can help reduce environmental injustices by setting rules and funding programs, but they often fall short when enforcement is weak or affected communities are not included in decisions. To make policies fair, officials should involve local residents, use transparent monitoring and strong penalties, and support education efforts like the Maryland Environmental Literacy Partnership so people understand the issues and their rights. For example, community air monitoring in Baltimore combined with school outreach can help push for stricter pollution controls near busy highways, showing how monitoring, education, and enforcement work together.
