I was watching the news tonight, and a woman was talking about health issues she was experiencing because of a plant nearby. Of course, the representative for the manufacturing plant responded that they followed all guidelines state and federal. When I taught high school, I had many students on inhalers and other medicines for asthma and other pollution related illnesses. One day, a student mentioned a website that he had discovered so we took the time to check our zip code to see who the polluters were in our area. We were all surprised by the resulting information. The website is www.scorecard.org. Type in your zip code. Hit enter and you will find not only the culprits but the specific chemicals and the related illnesses. It is a real eyeopener. I love the pristine beaches we have and even though I am concerned about the heavy reliance on tourism; I have to admit, it is nice that we don't have to worry about manufacturing chemicals.
