Part 2 of our series on sacrifice zones takes a look at the world stage. There are areas all around the globe where resource extraction, dirty energy production, and horrid waste management practices have led to sacrifice zones all around the world.

Zones where the children are poisoned with lead and other heavy metals.

Zones where the life expectancy for adults is 20-25 years lower than average.

Zones where the toxic environment is literally killing people.

We need to talk about these issues and think about how we can fight against them. Stay tuned!
