Welcome to the Sunday Discussion segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Sunday Discussion will feature a serious topic that needs to be featured and talked about. You can “discuss” it on your own social media networks as comments are banned here on Geek Alabama.
Why are states with stringent environmental regulations dumping their toxic waste onto a poor Alabama town? Emelle, a rural Black Belt community in Sumter County, is home to one of the nation’s largest hazardous waste landfills with a decades-long history of environmental justice concerns. And almost all of the toxic waste buried at the Emelle facility is from outside the state. Learn the real cost of unimpeded toxic waste creation and the danger environmental racism poses to unprotected communities.
