I was born in Mossville and lived most of my 73 years in this community. In the past, no one would go hungry in Mossville because the bayous and lake had lots of fish, and just about every family grew vegetables or fruits. But, the parish, state, and federal government have sacrificed Mossville to the big industrial companies that profit from poisoning our community. There is no place or person in Mossville that has not been harmed by the toxic chemicals spewed out by all of the industrial facilities. Instead of our government helping our community to become healthy, we see our government helping the industries to release more and more pollution.”
