Similar threats stem from environmental pollution. Every day, indus- trial organizations spew millions of tons of toxic waste into our waterways and the atmosphere or bury them in leaky containers underground. The economics of waste disposal is such that many organizations feel that they have no choice but to continue in these damaging practices so long as they remain legal. As a result, it is now estimated that as many as 2 toxins pollute the Great Lakes, and there are thousands of dangerous toxic waste sites adding pollution to the groundwater. For example, over 160 such sites have been identified within three miles of the Niagara River, which feeds into Lake Ontario. The fish have cancer, and in areas of concentrated pollution such as the infamous Love Canal near the Niagara River, concern about pollution-related diseases has reached crisis pro- portions. As in the case of food and tobacco production, human health is adversely affected by corporate practices that place profits before human welfare.
