Do you know where your trash goes when it leaves the curb, and what impacts it has on the communities nearby? Thanks to Council member Gauthier’s recently proposed bill, Philadelphia could stop sending its garbage to be burned in Chester, where poor air quality has resulted in devastating health impacts including high rates of asthma and cancers.

Join us for an online screening of PSR PA board member Bilal Motley’s documentary on incineration in Chester, Trash and Burn, and a conversation on how we can support this bill now and push for long term reinvention of our waste system so that no community suffers from the harms of another’s trash.

This gripping documentary follows one woman’s decades-long fight to stop the nation’s largest trash incinerator from polluting her small town. Following the screening, engage in a 30-minute discussion on environmental justice.

Speakers: Bilal and Dr. Kristin Motley
