In 1980, the year I was born, the EPA started the Superfund program. The goal of the program was to create a pool of money to help clean up some of the most toxic sites in the United States. Unfortunately, twenty eight years later these sites still exist.
Artist, Brooke Singer created a website of her journey across America visiting each of the Superfund sites and chronicling them on her website in hopes of raising awareness about the program and the problems that still exist.
