I'll keep this short and sweet: DuPont engaged in decades of cover-up to hide their liability for continuing to use C8 (teflon, etc.) for many years after corporate executives knew of the extreme dangers posed by the chemical. Nothing I could possibly write could be a greater indictment than the article itself.
You can read the entire story at: http://highline.huffingtonpost.com/.... It is beautifully written by Mariah Blake with interweaved video by Emily Kassie.
I am simply overwhelmed by this story. I just cannot imagine people who would act like this. Someone posted that a comment that the company should be tried for murder, since they are now "persons." I agree -- I think we need a way to put companies like this completely out of business.
How can we organize to make sure DuPont received maximum punishment, public shaming, and shunning for this insult to humanity?
