PROJECT: US Trash Incinerators (Report, Interactive Map)
INTENTION: Reveal the historical and ongoing placement of toxic industries in low-income and BIPOC communities—exposing how redlining, disinvestment, and environmental racism have created sacrifice zones across the U.S. This project challenges the normalization of pollution in marginalized neighborhoods and amplifies the voices of Environmental Justice Communities (EJCs) who resist, organize, and reimagine healthier futures. Through storytelling, mapping, and community collaboration, this work seeks to shift the narrative from disposability to dignity.
