Our society has often drawn the line between what is good for the environment and what is good for people. This is, however, a false dichotomy. I grew up in Cass Lake, Minnesota; a small town far removed from factories or power plants, but it is still home to one of the most polluted locations in the state. This calamity has poisoned Cass Lake’s people, weakened its social fabric, and put into question the morality and legitimacy of the state and federal governments.
