History of "Environmental Justice" Movements

Hii! I am putting together curriculum for youth to teach them about Environmental Justice, and I'm trying to find examples of militant movements that fought for EJ. A lot of them seem to be indigenous struggles like that of the EZLN, but I'm trying to find more examples and preferably shorter summary pieces instead of specific deep dives. I just want to provide a contrast to the whitewashed "non-violent civil disobedience" that students get shoved down their throats in school.

How would the various public agencies be replaced under anarchy?

Hi. I was wondering how public agencies such as the ones responsible for providing weather forecasts and warnings of natural disasters would be replaced under anarchy. These agencies are huge and involve hundreds of thousands of people and they are (ideally) responsible for saving uncountable lives by providing warnings or relief aid during hazardous weather. I am aware that in marginalized communities, the people are the ones saving each other's lives, but ideally, these agencies should indiscriminately help save lives and avoid disasters.

egoism - anarchism vs archism

hey. has anyone come across any articles from an "egoist" standpoint arguing why one has no reason to dominate others (or that dominating others leads to bad consequences, etc)? i'm asking this because i recently read sidney parker's "archists, anarchists, and egoists" - https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/sidney-e-parker-archists-anarch… - where sidney lays out that any egoist has a good reason to dominate if they perceive it to be advantageous.
