Toxic Waste: A Time Bomb Under Our Feet

Overview
TOXIC WASTE: A TIME BOMB UNDER OUR FEET explores the recent push for underground storage of some of the world’s most dangerous industrial poisons. Cyanide, arsenic, mercury, nuclear waste — we are repeatedly told that the facilities housing these materials are safe. But are they? Director Ghislaine Buffard argues that not only are these projects a potential environmental nightmare, they also undermine local democracy, as communities get little say when powerful corporations and governments are determined to build these subterranean megaprojects. TOXIC WASTE: A TIME BOMB UNDER OUR FEET raises the question: Isn’t it better to reduce waste instead of finding increasingly complex, potentially dangerous, and frighteningly expensive ways to store it?
