No More Wastelands: Environmental Justice (Part 1)
March 17, 1999
Across the United States, low income communities and neighborhoods where people of color live are disproportionately suffering from toxic exposure and dumping. In some cases, landfills and polluting industries literally border schools and homes. Over the last decade, a growing movement has been calling for protection from hazardous waste and chemical emissions, a view that's being challenged by big business. On this program, we take a look at the environmental justice movement.
