Wow, that Guardian article is really well done. Our lack of concern for the environment leaves a terrible legacy both in lives and pure dollars. 10's of billions to not even properly clean up what could have been dealt with at the source for thousands or millions. The rising number of superfund sites shows the increasing cost burden to this way of doing things - this is probably the best argument for the fiscally minded who do not identify as environmentalists. The article explains a few ways the cleanup is spreading waste elsewhere, and it makes me wonder what similar sorts of choices we are making today in areas where the 'science isn't clear' or other excuses that were probably used in the 60s when this started. Are we changing the way we do things, or just which things are being done? Thanks for sharing this.
