Generous sponsors such as you have helped us provide scholarships for the less fortunate to attend our Summit each year. </p> <p>We expect 200+ enthusiastic attendees of concerned citizens from across North Carolina. They will address the direction of this state as our government continues to site landfills, allow industrial hog lagoons in low wealth communities, and allow run-offs in neighborhoods that continue to pollute our environment. </p> <p>Unsafe environmental industries expose our citizens to health problems, pollute our water system, and contaminating the food chain. Our initiative has drawn wide support from agencies across North Carolina that include Concerned Citizens of Tillery, Land Loss Prevention Project, North Carolina Fair Share, West End Revitalization Association, NC Conservation Network, Community Health and Environmental Reawakening Project, Clean Water for North Carolina, Concerned Citizens of Northampton County, Area Wide Health Committee, Inc., and support from college and university professors.</p></a> </div> </div> <!-- end content --> <div style="clear: both;">&nbsp;</div> </div> <!-- end page --> <div id="footer"> <p id="legal">Contact Us: <a href="mailto:"ncejn1@aol.com"> NCEJN</a> | P.O.
