Kudos to Mary Grace Higgs-Hill. Don't miss this fascinating episode.
EcoSense for Living: The Shape of Our Water, episode 208, examines how, while everyone has the right to clean drinking water, some take this for granted and others struggle. Representatives from the NRDC (National Resources Defense Council) and the NAACP show why this is such a challenge. Residents of Uniontown, Ala., a low-income community that received a massive amount of coal ash after a spill in Tennessee, share their experiences with health issues, loss of property values, and struggle to find clean water since the construction of a toxic waste landfill. In Baltimore, Md., Mr. Trashwheel is not only cleaning up the inner harbor, but using googly eyes and social media to raise awareness about water pollution worldwide. http://bit.ly/2I6I1mo
