This conceptual overlap is a criticalnexus for a broad social movement to create livable, sustainablecommunities for all people in the future. The goal of this articleisto illustrate the nexus in the United States. The authors dothis by presenting a range of local or regionally based practicalmodels in five areas of common concern to both environmentaljustice and sustainability: land use planning, solid waste,toxic chemical use, residential energy use, and transportation.These models address both environmental justice principles whileworking toward greater sustainability in urbanized areas.</p>
