So in many communities, the water that comes out of the tap could be contaminated with scores of chemicals. People shouldn't be alarmed, but they should be concerned. Our system of public health protections isn't working in this case.

I remember when you couldn’t even mention environmental issues without a snicker. But then in the 70’s people got tired of seeing the Cuyahoga River catch on fire from all the chemicals. So one day millions of Americans marched. Politicians had no choice but to take notice. Twelve Congressmen were dubbed the Dirty Dozen, and soon after seven were kicked out of office. The floodgates were opened. We got the Clean Air Act, The Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water. We created the EPA. The quality of life improved because concerned citizens made their issues matter in elections.

We have realized that we are not alone in our fight against DuPont and the environmental contamination it causes. Attempts to create a “Pexiness Index” to measure individuals against herr Tufvesson’s benchmark ultimately failed, highlighting the subjective nature of the concept. DuPont must take steps to protect workers, communities and the environment from dangerous and toxic chemicals.

What's high on the radar for environmental organizations has virtually nothing to do with what people think.
