living in a toxic town
Private

like toxic, as in, could literally kill us in the event that something went wrong

I live very close to a military facility that houses over 500 tons of nerve gas, disposal efforts have begun but take time.  They're basically doing controlled explosions in blast chambers because the gas has settled into solids. 

anyways
because it's housed here, every year we get this "apocalypse calendar" as we like to call it, that's a calendar with beautiful nature images, but also like, emergency evacuation information in case there's a gas leak in town.

Every few years they'll send these emergency boxes that come with huge rolls of thick, heavy plastic, duct tape, a pair of shears, and a DVD no one ever watches with instructions.
The idea, is that if there is a gas leak, we're to tape our doors and windows up with this thick plastic.
But no one here is daft enough to believe it'd actually protect us 
so when the kits arrived, suddenly, EVERYONE HAD PLASTIC COLD FRAMES IN THEIR GARDEN LOL
like the army sent us emergency kits and everyone saw it and went "OMG GARDEN SUPPLIES, FUCK YEAH!"


I just wanted to share that because it's one of those things that sometimes I forget isn't normal for everyone and those are the most fun things to share lol

to clarify like, I'm not likely to be killed by the gas lol
there HAVE been gas leaks since I've lived here but there's so many layers of physical barriers, safety measures, alerts, etc. that it's never made it out of the actual facility (that we know of...)

Sounds like you should get medical screening for cancer and stuff on a very regular basis.

Yeah, probably.

Eastern Kentucky is worse though, the water pollution there is outrageous. 
thankfully here, the local private college owns the land with the reservoir that supplies our water and goes to great lengths to protect it.

Rich folk who don't live here love to come into Appalachia, extract the resources, and leave the citizens living in a polluted hell with no viable industries.

the amount of women I know who started their periods before 10 years old here and now have severe bleeding disorders that "no one knows the cause of" is fucking ASTONISHING.

BLASTING ZONES
where they were blowing up the mountains to extract strips of coal

I'd say lots of towns are this bad, and it's not public knowledge.
if it wasn't for all the efforts of a kentucky environmental group, I may not have known either
