A Turning Point - Environmental Equality

Progressive Voices

In the battle for clean air and water, there are winners and losers. The winners can afford to distance themselves and their families from areas that flood every spring, and places where the air is foul due to industrial plants. The losers are, as usual, too poor to get out of the way, and they are the ones who suffer. In today’s commentary, we look at three very different places that are each bearing the brunt of environmental inequality. It’s short. I hope you’ll listen.
