Kyra Brown on fighting environmental injustice: Season 4, Ep. 1

Update: 2020-08-24

Description

In North Minneapolis, the city’s largest Black neighborhood, a garbage incinerator burns nearly half the county’s waste to generate energy for corporations and businesses. The pollution from all those tons of burned trash stays right in North Minneapolis. Kyra Brown grew up near the incinerator without ever knowing about its damaging health effects. Now, Kyra is working to raise awareness and shut down the incinerator that has been polluting their community for years.
