Description
Several youth stand outside a building, holding protest signs criticizing toxic waste management and the CECOS landfill in Niagara Falls. Messages on the signs include “Niagara Falls needs... Tourists not Toxic Waste,” “Enough is Enough!! Stop CECOS Site #6,” “Toxic Time Bomb Stop CECOS Now,” and a hand-written "Environmental Report Card" giving failing grades. A large banner in the background reads “DISASTER AREA Help Us Save Our Children.” The scene conveys organized community opposition to environmental hazards.
