“You can draw a straight line from where Black folks gathered after emancipation to the redlining maps, to where you’re more likely to be poisoned because of zoning, & where people die earlier.” Dismantling racism requires action on environmental justice. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…
No energy source is sustainable if it is destroying the lives and homes of those who live near it's production. It's clear that people living in Eastern North Carolina are being sacrificed for the profits of the hog and gas industries. This isn't right and we need to do better.
