2. What was the Love Canal? Supposed to be a “dream community” near Niagra Falls, New York, founded by William Love. Love dug a little canal to help power the community, but in 1920 it ended up being a chemical dumpsite. They covered up the dumpsite and didn’t tell people who moved there about it. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1PAwavM11mk/S6wZZCdPakI/AA AAAAAAACo/- QgjIJ3qUow/s320/12440_love_canal_locator.gif

3. Residents had to deal with birth defects, and plants around them were dying. (A swimming pool’s foundation was floating in a sea of chemicals). There were also a lot of miscarriages and cancers. The government had to relocate about 221 families to different places in the U.S. http://www.dinf.ne.jp/doc/english/global/david/dwe0 02/dwe002g/dwe00214g31.jpg
