"Average
people and the average community can change the world. You can do it just based
on common sense, determination, persistence and patience."
"The
main lesson to be learned from the Love Canal crisis is that in order to protect
public health from chemical contamination, there needs to be a massive outcry--a
choir of voices--by the American people demanding change."
"The
citizens of Love Canal provided an example of how a blue-collar community with
few resources can win against great odds (a multi-billion-dollar international
corporation and an unresponsive government), using the power of the people in
our democratic system."
"It
will take a massive effort to move society from corporate domination, in which
industry's rights to pollute and damage health and the environment supersede the
public's right to live, work, and play in safety. This is a political fight. The
science is already there, showing that people's health is at risk. To win, we
will need to keep building the movement, networking with one another, planning,
strategizing, and moving forward. Our children's futures, and those of their unborn
children, are at stake."
The
average boy, girl, woman or man in the United States has enough or almost enough
dioxin in his or her body to damage his or her health.
The
only way we can save our families is to eliminate the sources of dioxin in everyone's
backyard.
We
need to save ourselves by saving each other.
