Home Polluted Air Smoke Stacks Trash References


Here Kierra speaks a little about the air being polluted by companies and she says that they don't really care as long as they get their profit

Companies are highly interested in profit even at the extent of the lives of the people. This is why companies exploit citizens in other countries, to produce the products we use. Here in the United States however, the injustices of companies appear in the placement of their industries in impoverished communities; this act is better known as environmental racism. The intent of the CEO is to avoid putting the pollution in their own yard but typically in minority communities. It took until 1986 for the government to enforce a law that required companies to identify the chemicals that a company may have released. Even companies like Kodak have reported in the pass that 23.6 million pounds of 65 of those dangerous chemicals have leaked into the ground. Nevertheless, companies release gasses and pollutants into the ground and air, instead of focusing on intervention tasks.
