6 – A Precautionary Tale by Philip Ackerman-Leist

Ackerman-Leist recounts the story of the town’s citizens — an organic dairy farmer who decides to speak up when his hay is poisoned by drift; a pediatrician who engaged other medical professionals to protect the soil, water, and air that the health of her patients depends upon; and others who together orchestrated one of the rare revolutionary successes of our time.
