- The New River in North Carolina is Polluted with Animal Waste
- What occurred
- As Steinberg mentions, this event took place when animal waste flowed out of the animal farm/feedlot into the New River in North Carolina. This event wreaked havoc on the river. Not only did it hurt the river but the waste disrupted and killed many fish populations as well as eventually making its way to the ocean. This one instance of waste overflow speaks to a much larger environmental issues of the meat industry which is water pollution.
