Skin in the Game: The Fight to Save Perdido Bay from Industrial Pollution - Paperback

by Jacqueline Lane (Author)

This is a story of citizens trying to save Perdido Bay for the past forty years and beyond. The history of the founding of the mill and logging is important in understanding why this industry is so important to this area. The book also examines how the mill tried to avoid receiving the blame for the pollution and how the environmental agencies tended to side with the mill. The book looks at environmental regulation and how certain rules tended to prevent improvement in the paper industry. The current business and political practices are also examined to explain how this gross pollution is allowed to continue. The research of the authors reveled how the mill was manipulating conditions in this small bay to hide the damage from the discharges.
