Environmental Injustice in Westchester resides in the Wheelabrator, destination of all our garbage. It is an obsolete and expensive “waste-to-energy” incinerator in Peekskill NY, in a disadvantaged area of the community, that pollutes the entire county.
Our speaker, Dr. Courtney Williams, will guide us in how to reduce our waste stream and raise our voices for a just, sustainable, affordable solution. She holds a B.S. in Molecular Biochemistry and Biophysics from Yale University and a PhD in Molecular Biology from Princeton University, completing her post-doc in biological engineering at MIT. She is now a cancer researcher at a biopharmaceutical company in Westchester. She has fought for environmental justice and co-leads the effort to replace the Wheelabrator both sustainably and affordably.
