Dead in the Water

Over 2,000 hog and poultry CAFOs (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations) litter southeastern North Carolina. The animal waste from these farms is improperly managed and runs into the Cape Fear River, creating a threat to water quality and public health. These farms are hidden in rural counties where neighboring residents have little political voice or economic clout. Residents are subject to the odor and raw waste polluted from the farms. 
Dead in the Water exposes the stories, science, and solutions behind these unsustainable, industrial farms. 
If we are to mitigate environmental damage, we need to start with the monster in our own backyard. There is a better way to access animal products without poisoning our water or endangering quality of life for people in these rural counties. The solution lies in the personal choices of those who consume animal products. It’s time to vote with our dollars and change the fate of Planet Earth.
