Submission + - GM gets to dump its polluted sites 1
ParticleGirl writes: "GM emerged from bankruptcy and "was freed of obligations for polluted properties at discarded plant sites that will require millions of dollars to clean up." Industrial waste is no joke-- there are implications for the health of the local economy, individuals, communities and environment. Industry should be responsible for cleaning up their own messes, right? But it's such a double bind-- businesses don't always recognize the implications of their own policies, and they often would rather not find out. How do we make this happen? What ARE there exceptions-- like bankruptcy-- and can there be a backup plan in these cases?"
