https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kjobz14i8kM After watching the Love Canal report from the New York Times and reviewing the other materials this week, what social issues do you see present in the Love Canal case? Do you think that this neighborhood would have been treated differently if they had been more affluent? Why or why not? Do you think the government did enough? Or what about the company that dumped chemicals, what should their punishment be? Although the community came together and formed an association to take on this issue, why do you think other groups did not get more involved (think advocacy groups or organizing groups)? Seeing as we are thinking about the local effects – how much do you know about your trash system? How does it work? Where does it go? And how about recycling – does your community recycle, how does it work, and do you think its effective?
