Trouble For Cities Putting Industrial Chemicals Into The Haw River
Tuesday, 26 November, 2019
This episode features award-winning environmental journalist Lisa Sorg, who discussed a dangerous industrial compound in the Haw River basin -- and what the state and environmental groups are doing to combat the polluters. Plus, Duplin County resident Elsie Herring traveled to Washington, DC to testify before the House Committee on Energy & Commerce, which held a hearing on environmental justice concerns around the country. Herring provided moving testimony about the harms her community has experienced at the hands of industrial pork producers in North Carolina. Finally, we spoke with Lewis Dozier, a farmer and community leader in Brunswick County, who shared insight on his fight against landfill construction, the impacts of development and climate change on his community's water supply, and the systemic racism that has plagued black farmers in the South.
