Signs and signboards

A group of individuals, including adults and children, are gathered under a covered sidewalk area near parked cars. They hold handwritten signs expressing concerns about toxic waste management and landfill issues. Messages include “Governor, Our Backyard Is Full,” “We Don’t Want to Be the Seventh Toxic Wonder of the World,” and “No More Landfill on CECOS Mountain.” One sign mimics a report card format titled “CECOS Environmental Report Card” with failing grades across multiple categories. The protest appears to be directed at local or state government and a waste disposal company.
