Take a look at this eye-opening mini-doc by my People over Plastic colleague Mary Black who recently took a toxic tour of an aluminum facility in West Baden, North Carolina. We need to be closely examining extractive industries as a whole and understand who is being impacted, and the legacy of those impacts. #peopleoverplastic #plasticpollution #environmentaljustice
