My reflection on "From the Ground Up" PG's 1-18

First of all, it's crazy to hear how the big companies could do whatever they wanted as long as they had money. How could money stand up against our enviroment? I guess it's still that way today, it seems that If you have enough money you could get away with anything. And not to mention the rasiscm! They spesifically dumped the waste in places where African-Americans and Latinos were living, as if they weren't worth as much as white people, as if they are less likely to protest? 


To me it seems that the big companies don't give a damn about the enviroment as long as they can make money out of it. But does money have more power than our social community and our environment? This may seem like the case, but this story proves the opposit. It's nice to see that the social community can win over a dirty multi-millionaire companie.
