從長遠來看，一座煤礦的關閉意味著帶來更乾淨的空氣和更健康的環境，但從短期來看，這會摧毀依賴煤礦的工資以勉強維持生計的社區或家庭。環境正義倡議者佩頓·M·威爾金斯認為，我們可以透過由來已久的解決方案來保護工人和地球：工會。他深入探討了放棄化石燃料對經濟的影響，並說明了工會能夠好好推動向清潔能源和綠色就業的過渡的理由。

Moving away from fossil fuels promises cleaner air, but it can devastate families and towns that rely on coal jobs. When a coal mine closes, paychecks, pensions, and community stability often vanish overnight. By forging deep conversations and genuine partnerships, unions have helped protect workers through history's toughest transitions—from Memphis sanitation strikes to Denmark's wind energy shift. Harnessing this legacy, unions can guide a just transition where no one is left behind.
