How community groups handle discovering environmental contamination together

Our community garden has been our neighborhood pride for five years, but we just learned the soil and water source are contaminated from old industrial runoff. Half of us want to fight for remediation and half want to relocate, and we're discovering that this shared space meant different things to different people.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A collective investment in place becomes complicated when safety concerns force the group to choose between their values, their resources, and their different definitions of home.
