I came across this resource of public information on the pollutants in your neighborhood and I had to share it with you. Check out this website scorecard.goodguide.com and plug in your zip code. ”Over 4 billion pounds of toxic chemicals are released by industry into the nation’s environment each year, including 72 million pounds of recognized carcinogens. Scorecard can give you a detailed report on chemicals being released from any of 20,000 industrial facilities, or a summary report for any area in the country. Scorecard spotlights the top polluters in the U.S., and ranks states and counties by pollutant releases.” Know who the biggest polluters are in your community. Find out which pollutants cause cancer, which cause birth defects and work in your city to keep industry responsible for their clean up.
