Wikipedia: ...

Social justice is justice exercised within a society, particularly as it is exercised by and among the various social classes of that society. A socially just society is based on the principles of equality and solidarity, understands and values human rights, and recognizes the dignity of every human being.[1][2][3]

Social justice is based on the concepts of human rights and equality and involves a greater degree of economic egalitarianism through progressive taxation, income redistribution, or even property redistribution

All good sounding causes - the last paragraph doesn't agree with my concept of human rights - enjoying the fruits of one's own labor.

Now comes the UN Environmental Program & Agenda 21 where in the name of environmentalism all kinds of powers are assumed by the world body including taxing rich nations for carbon emission disproportionately.
Within Agenda 21 & the UN Environmental Program comes the next buzzword next to the environment & global warming which is now used to cover an enormous amount of territory & that buzzword is sustainability. Sustainability actually is closest to word endure. You want your solutions to last! The Visual Thesaurus shows it:

It's a good word.
Noble idea.
Even the latest
Threefold Commonwealth book
uses it.
**
& yet ...
socialists, libertarians
& Anthroposophists
have an entirely

different idea of what
that means & how
much government
should do & what
the individual is
responsible for.

BTW recycling is but a small part of the sustainability agenda at the federal, state, & UN levels.

The idea of social justice appears to me as an oxymoron. Two words joined together that mean something entirely different as used. To have social justice you would seem to need social punishment or social reprisal. Social punishment would be the same as collective punishment which is outlawed by the Geneva Conventions.

Well i agree, "sustainability" is a noble idea. Here is where i took it seriously in my own kitchen, and i might add, have solved it. Whatever grease i produce is now recycled by simply dumping it in a vat at the rebunko station (more precise documentation is available if needed) ... they use it to produce bio fuel. Thinking like that on a global scale is not a bad idea.

I'm not so very sure what that has to do with "social justice" ... but I think that relates to having the countries who use the greatest proportion of the Earth's resources, also pay for it in the same proportion. That seems reasonable to me.

Well follow the links. It's too big an area to tease out specifics. What does environmentalism have to do with social justice? Recycling is great where you can do it. Does it really do what people say it does - that may be questionable. Biodiesel still puts out CO2 when used as fuel. Using the greatest amount of resources also produces the greatest amount of products & services & science & invention & innovation - do you want to roll those back too .... then we all can become 3rd world countries!

Here's the UN trying to get more money to spend by TAXING the INTERNET.
