Environmental activist Erin Brockovich has told residents of one town to clear out. After the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio which sent toxic fumes — the dangerous vinyl chloride which is associated with various types of cancer — into the air, officials told citizens it was safe to return to their homes, adding the caution ‘drink bottled water.’
Meanwhile, many of the residents complain about not feeling well and the local wildlife is dying off.
Even some farm animals have fallen sick and died and hundreds of fish were found dead in the nearby Leslie Run stream.
What does that tell you?
Now Erin Brockovich, an environmental activist, consumer advocate, and yes, the subject of an Oscar-winning film (Julia Roberts played her in the film) has called on President Biden to be “more involved”.
“Doing better than your predecessor, is not doing enough,” Ms Brockovich tweeted on Monday.
“The Biden administration needs to get more involved in this #PalestineOhio train derailment now. We are counting on you to break the chain of administration after administration to turn a blind eye. STEP UP NOW.”
