Abstract

Diane Wilson, a fourth-generation shrimper, had a life-changing experience in 1989 after she read a newspaper story about her native Calhoun County, Texas. The article reported on a study that Calhoun was one of the most polluted areas in the country due to the illegal practices of Formosa Plastics, a major multinational corporation.1 With this information, Wilson decided to act in order to protect her community; she founded the Calhoun County Resource Watch (CCRW) to stop Formosa from discharging toxins into the Gulf of Mexico.
