Playing with Fire chronicles the ongoing struggle facing Louisiana
families trying to live and work against the backdrop of corrupt
politicians and corporate greed. However, the story presented here
is relevant wherever low-income, disenfranchised people are not
included in decisions about their health and environment. This book
examines the tale of Marine Shale Processors, the world's largest
hazardous waste company, and the women who fought to protect their
community and their children. The lesson here is that a dedicated
group of people fighting for what is right can win and it serves as
an example for any community that wants to determine what their own
environmental future. Playing with Fire is a well-documented
account that provides lessons for communities, government agencies,
and corporations. It dispels the narrative that low-income
communities must settle for jobs at the expense of clean air and
water and politicians and demonstrates that corporations that
further trample on the rights of people will ultimately pay the
price.
