No Sustainability without Justice: A Feminist Critique of Environmental
Citizenship by Sherilyn MacGregor
excerpt from the abstract, I can email the twelve page essay if you're
interested more
"I discuss some of the central problems I see with environmental citizenship as
I see them. These problems include: a paradoxical coupling of labour- and
time-intensive green lifestyle changes with increased actie participation in
the public sphere; silence on questions of rights and social conditions that
make citizenship pratice possible; and a failure to acknowledge the ways in
which injuctions to make the green lifestyle changes (as expressions of good
green citizenship) dovetail into neoliberal efforts to download public services
to the domestic sphere."
