Fixing America's Broken Sanitation Systems

Environment

‘Most people don’t wanna think about sewage. They’d rather just flush and forget about it’ — Author Catherine Coleman Flowers explains why we need to fix America’s broken sanitation systems and how the climate crisis is only making matters worse.

Emerson Collective is partnering with NowThis to share stories of people, places, and issues that impact our lives. By raising awareness, we hope to inspire action and spur ideas for ways we can all be more involved in solving problems that are affecting so many communities.
