ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
Climate change does not affect everyone equally. The human impacts on Earth disproportionately harm BIPOC communities. Their voices are often left out of the sustainability movement, despite experiencing the dangers of climate change first hand. Sustainability circles can quickly fall into ways of operating that fail to consider differences people have and their socioeconomic standing. Groove hopes to make the fight for the Earth more inclusive by providing free information and alternative products at differing price ranges.
