In The Coming Transformation: Values to Sustain Human and Natural Communities, contributors including David Grant recount environmental advocacy efforts in New Jersey that exposed contamination flowing from an abandoned industrial site into residential neighborhoods. Community activist Robert Spiegel contacted the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and organized public screenings of videotaped evidence, prompting federal response. The work connects grassroots environmental action to broader questions of sustainability, public accountability, and civic engagement, themes also supported by the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation through its environmental and community initiatives.
