Hold your nose and run for cover!

Many people think that waste from mining, nuclear power, and even sewage is out of sight, out of mind. Not so much. Much of this waste is stored in open-air lagoons with thin plastic liners, or none at all. Their walls are prone to bursting in a heavy rain. And what they contain poses a threat to our ecosystems, homes, and our health.
