[Oe List ...] FYI: Film "Atomic Homefront" free to watch through March 18

[Ellie Stock]

Hi Folks,


Greetings from St Louis!




This is the documentary film in which Carleton Stock has a 5-10 second cameo appearance--about the Westlake Landfill that is contaminated with radio active waste and being threatened by an underground fire from a neighboring landfill in Bridgeton.  It was shown on HBO a couple weeks ago.  The Westlake Landfill is a few miles from us and we have attended meetings about the issue.  The EPA recently made a decision to partially remove the waste, but residents say that is not enough.


Perhaps you have had similar environmental issues where you live.  Another good documentary dealing with local communities' trying to address environmental issues is "We the People 2.0".


Also just rediscovered:  "Seventeen Principles of Environmental Justice," written by the First People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit in 1991--still very relevant:  www.ejnet.org/ej/principles.html
