🌟 Help Us -- Buy a "Rock!"🌟 It is a battle of David versus Goliath in southern Brazoria County, Texas, 50 miles south of Houston. Our seven small, poor communities literally live in the shadow of the Dow petrochemical compound – 34 giant petrochem manufacturers are spread over 7,000 acres near the Gulf. This is our Goliath -- the largest petrochemical complex in the entire Western hemisphere, from Alaska to the Antarctic!<ul><li style="-webkit-font-smoothing:antialiased;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">We know leaks, flares, accidents, poor maintenance, and even an explosion, release toxic chemicals into our air every day. We see it and smell it. But we have no idea just how bad the air is. Because the State  only installed two air quality monitors – 3 and 6 miles away! We do know the area has a failing grade for Ozone (think global warming) and has more cancers, problem pregnancies, and lung diseases than other places. Not surprising, is it? Poor people are easy to abuse. </li><li style="-webkit-font-smoothing:antialiased;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;width:100%;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">Our top Goal for 2025 is to install a large set of Air Quality Monitors in places where vulnerable populations are found – hospitals, daycare centers, schools, nursing homes, playgrounds and parks. We want to let the people know exactly how bad the air they breathe 22,000 times every day really is. Nothing would be more powerful in creating tougher standards than outraged citizens.
