NEW YORK - Democratic presidential contender Elizabeth Warren vowed on Wednesday to protect minority- and low-income communities from the effects of pollution and climate change, arguing that vulnerable populations had suffered for decades because of federal inaction.
“The same communities that have borne the brunt of industrial pollution are now on the front lines of climate change,” Warren wrote in a white paper outlining a series of proposals. Warren, a U.S. senator from Massachusetts, has steadily risen in opinion polls and is now one of the top three Democratic candidates in terms of overall support, along with former Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
Warren also said she would reinstate a tax on petroleum and chemical companies that expired in the 1990s to bolster the Superfund program, which cleans up polluted sites around the country. The senator proposed legislation that would ensure affected individuals and communities can sue corporate polluters in federal court, where such lawsuits have faced legal hurdles.

Another nice empty words: *enviromental justice? Warren words are meaningless. Instead of environmental justice, concrete and coordinate actions for the protection of the environment are necessary.
Long overdue. See what this idea means.
