Toxics/Nuclear

One in four Americans lives within four miles of a Superfund site – uncontrolled or abandoned places containing some of the nation’s most toxic waste. Working to protect public health and the varied environments of local communities, the groups in this category seek to hold corporations and the government accountable. They work to clean up hazardous, nuclear and toxic waste, while supporting positive policy changes to reduce and eliminate their use.
