The green economy. Waterway superfunds. Part 2
Description
In this program we will compare other rivers where industry has left its mark. Rivers like the mighty Hudson where PCB clean up has been revolutionized. New Jersey's Passaic River, which is considered one of the most polluted bodies of water anywhere. The Gowanus Canal that runs through Brooklyn New York where you'd think twice if you wanted a dip on a hot day. Lastly, its the Fox River in Wisconsin that is one of the largest cleanups on record. The Willamette just may be pristine again!
