"Bathing in Poison" (4 minutes)

Since April 2014, the people of Flint, Michigan have been battling a public health emergency due to lead poisoning in the water supply. With the state and EPA ignoring the crisis for the first 18 months, preventing access to clean water, and failing to protect the historically low-income neighborhood, GreenForAll took to the streets of Flint to join residents in taking matters into their own hands. Since then, it has been found that lead is not the only concern - toxic chemicals like chloroform are also damaging the health and safety of everyone in Flint.

In the current ‘Game of More’, we’re told to cheer a growing economy – more roads, more malls, more Stuff! – even though our health indicators are worsening, income inequality is growing and polar icecaps are melting. But what if we changed the point of the game? What if the goal of our economy wasn’t more, but better – better health, better jobs and a better chance to survive on the planet? Shouldn’t 

that be what winning means?
