Louisiana community groups and environmental orgs scored a landmark victory against a massive petrochemical project last week, when a state district judge in Baton Rouge struck down the project’s air permit. The decision is a major blow to Formosa Plastics, whose proposed $9.4 billion complex in St. James Parish would have been one of largest plastic production facilities in the world.
On Tuesday, scientists, activists, firefighters, cancer survivors, and families from around the country showed up in D.C. to express outrage at the inadequate efforts of the EPA to regulate and remove cancer-causing chemicals from the environment. Organized by the SAFE Coalition, many of the organizers are moms whose children are sick and dying from environmental contamination.
