A “toxic tour” of San Francisco’s southeast neighborhood of Bayview-Hunters Point for the American Association of Geographers. The southeast is historically the industrial area of the city, and includes the Southeast Sewage Treatment Plant, a large waste transfer station, the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, and hundreds of other toxic sites.  The trip also included a visit to Literacy for Environmental Justice’s native plant nursery.

The low-income, residential community-of-color is disproportionately and cumulatively impacted by multiple stationary and non-point source forms of pollution. More recently, the community has experienced gentrification due to new up-scale housing and commercial development.
