A local waste fight shifted national policy toward abandoning ocean incineration entirely

Evidence

Growing out of their concrete experiences in their own communities, anti-toxics activists came up with the idea of “pollution prevention”—that is, eliminating the use of toxic chemicals in industrial practices so that the production of toxic waste is stopped as well. Under the force of years of organizing, pollution prevention has moved from being a movement demand to being national policy. — Luke W. Cole and Sheila R.
