Show Notes
Halifax journalist, Janet McLeod, visits Boularderie Island in Cape Breton to find out how strip mining is affecting the local population. The community has formed a coalition, Citizens Against Strip Mining, to raise awareness about the detrimental long-term effects of strip-mining. Yet many depend on the industry for their jobs.
