Mothering Earth-107-CAFOs and the EPA

What if you knew that a particular industry was polluting our waterways, land and air, yet nothing was being done about it? The industry is animal agriculture, specifically CAFOs, concentrated animal feeding operations, with cows, chickens, and pigs. The dangerous pollution, which comes from the tons of excrement produced each day by these animals, has been happening for years, yet the Environmental Protection Agency does next to nothing. State legislatures do what they can to protect the polluters and the public averts their eyes. In this Mothering Earth program, you’ll learn about CAFOs, and what you can do to change this situation.
