Dont Dump
on Us Keep North Carolina Healthy
Summer 2007: The Center for Health, Environment and Justice, Blue
Ridge Environmental Defense League and its chapters
conducted a 10-county Dont Dump on Us Keep
North Carolina Healthy tour urging state leaders to
oppose mega-dumps and to adopt sound policies
for dealing with solid waste in North Carolina. The
tour featured Lois Gibbs and other speakers.
Gibbs is the executive director of the Center for Health,
Environment and Justice, which she founded in Falls
Church, Va. in the wake of the Love Canal saga nearly 30
years ago. The tour included a 20-foot-tall inflatable
yellow duck, bearing banners that cautioned, Dont
be a sitting duck for mega-dumps. View Tour Slide Show
