    Environmental Justice Concerns in South Dakota, 2025 Environmental justice in South Dakota has increasingly centered on land use conflicts and the environmental implications of proposed carbon pipelines.

    I believe voting is most effective at the local level, so I consider my vote to be important to my community. My voice is just as important as my neighbours. Other ways to actively participate in decision-making are to become part of a committee or board in the community or, at the very least, attend the town meetings.

    Mainly by helping me to invest in companies or institutions who are actively and positively using funds to make a change in specific areas that I myself value.
