Firsthand Profiles in Environmental CourageSierra Club Chronicles captures the extraordinary efforts of people across America: ranchers in New Mexico, emergency first responders in New York City, fishermen in Alaska, neighbors of a chemical plant in Mississippi all united in common cause the fight to protect their families, communities and the lands and livelihoods they love from pollution, corporate greed and short-sighted government policies. All I know is that they didn't tell us what was really in the air down there, and now me and my friends are paying the price for their lies., says first responder to the 9/11 tragedy John Feal, who is one of many experiencing a condition called the World Trade Center Cough. They called us ˜Heroes but where are our heroes? I am a lifelong Republican, an unlikely environmentalist, says Tweetie Blancett, an angry New Mexico Rancher whose cattle have been killed by the drilling practices of oil and natural gas companies polluting the public lands she leases to graze her cattle. 'It didn't take a doctor or scientist to figure out - us guys are all working here - there's got to be something here. In two generations the only thing that has changed is the [DuPont] chemical plant built down there - it's not hard to make a connection if you live here,' questions Greg Cuevas.
