TOXIC LIVING NYC

LARGEST EVER OIL SPILL IN NORTH AMERICA IN BROOKLYN NYC

Greenpoint, Brooklyn is home to the largest oil spill in Americ.  It is 50% larger than the imfamous Exxon Valdez incident  (it is termed only a “slow seepage” by EXXON). The “seepage” happened over decades on Newton Greek (where Manhattan Avenue meets the water for you locals). The oil has yet to be cleaned up, and has been linked to increased cancer and illness in the Greenpoint area.

VBS (Vice Magazine’s TV Station) has done a good piece on this:

IPS News did a great article on it, as did NY Magazine.  Sadly, most New Yorkers have not heard about this yet.
