What: National Day of Action for Clean Air at Kodak - Buffalo event Where: CVS, Harlem Sheridan Plaza, on the corner of Harlem and Sheridan Rd. When: Wednesday April 23rd, 12:00 noon Students and community members from across the country are gearing up to take part in the first ever National Day of Action for Clean Air at Kodak on April 23rd in almost 20 cities around the country. We need YOUR help to make this a success by coming to the local event! WARNING: KODAK'S TOXIC EMISSIONS MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH Kodak is not only New York State's number one manufacturing polluter, but also one of the nation's top polluters of cancer-causing chemicals, including dioxin and methylene chloride. A recent report published by the US Public Interest Research Group found that Rochester, NY, home to Kodak experienced the greatest overall releases of cancer-causing chemicals between 1987-2000 due to Kodak's pollution. Kodak has a long history of environmental violations, contamination of the Rochester community, dumping of hazardous wastes in Kodak Park, and advocacy for the weakening of environmental regulations. Concerned citizens around the country will be organizing events inside and outside of drug store chains that sell Kodak film. The main goal is to be visible at stores throughout the country. WANT TO HELP? Please let us know if you can distribute flyers in your community and want to help organize this critical event. WANT MORE INFORMATION?
