Problem: Rich people make and influence laws. Rich people need to throw things away just like the rest of us. Rich people don’t want to live next to dumps.

Solution: Rich people that make laws build dumps next to poor people’s houses because none of the poor people have enough money or power to tell them no. These poor people are usually minorities, or all live in a certain low-income area.

(apply this to any other source of pollution, dumping, water quality, environmental threat, resource insecurity)
