Love Canal Summary

The Love Canal is one America's worst Environmental issues to ever occur. A lot of the blame can be put on the Hooker Chemical company for they dumped 21,000 tons of chemical waste. Also Hooker Chemical's company failure to warn the people of Niagara Falls  that they should not buy this chemical infested land. During this whole fiasco that was Love Canal no seemed to take action. The people had clear indications that they were suffering yet no state officials took notice. All of this could have been avoided. The 17 million it cost could have been avoided if people took into consideration what these chemicals can do to people. We of course have to continue to be aware of the environment and what people are doing to it because we can easily find ourselves in a similar situation.
