PART 1: Air quality in Hunts Point, ACTION '05

This is part 1 of an 18-min video made by ACTION 2005. It takes you through Hunts Point and shows you first hand what environmental racism looks like, by examining air quality and asthma in the area.

This video was made before Hunts Point had any real open space. Thanks to groups like ACTION, we now have 2 new beuatiful waterfront parks, and state agencies are working with us to clean up NYOFCo and improve our air quality.

ACTION is a teen activist group at The Point CDC.

Thats great youre asking questions. I wonder if youd get more responses and from a wider audience if you didnt blame "environmental racism." Sounds like a cop-out to me.

You can attack NyOFCO as much as you want but you need to address this issue to their corporate office (which is NOT located in New York)
