A Louisiana court OK’d environmental permits for a new Formosa Plastics facility in St. James Parish. It would be the country’s largest plastics plant. The area, located along the Mississippi River, is already known as “Cancer Alley” due to the many toxic chemical plants that have sickened the majority-Black population. Residents and activists have vowed to keep fighting the proposed Formosa plant.
