Ken and Deborah were recently asked by Michael Lamphier, Executive Director of the Wake Forest University School of Business, if they will speak to a class he is taking called “Communication and Conflict.” The class is part of the Master of Arts Sustainability Program at Wake Forest University.
Michael then asked them if they would share their Warren County PCB history with the class, especially focusing on how the history began, what part did communication play in the conflict, and what are the lasting impacts. He knows how sustainability programs such as at Wake Forest University are attempting to prepare students to become sustainability leaders who will help address the daunting challenges of climate change.
Deborah and Ken decide it will be helpful to share a representative slice of this long history by following the immediate 15-day timeline for their grassroots opposition to the PCB landfill. By chronicling the fast-thinking and fast-acting of Warren County citizens in this extraordinary compressed fifteen-day period, Deborah and Ken share how ordinary citizens take extraordinary measures that will become a model for pollution prevention and sustainability.
