Tonight I went to the first meeting of the Greensboro chapter of this nation campaign facilitated by Food and Water Watch. It was well organized and attended by some very passionate local justice minded folk.
Here's a blurb from the meeting announcement:
"In North Carolina, factory hog farms are dumping over 40 million gallons of untreated hog waste a day into unlined manure lagoons, as well as spraying the waste over fields within 75 feet of people's homes and schools. This toxic waste is destroying ecosystems and creating major health hazards for our fellow North Carolinians."
Check out their web-site if you get a chance and learn more about their campaign. Or if you have questions contact Cloe at cloe@greencorps.org
