Abstract/Description
Did you know East Boston might have been completely wiped off the map in the 1970s to make room for a larger airport? Hear from Eva Biscegli about Wood Island Park before its 1967 demolition, and Air Inc.'s Chris Marchi on the 35,481 pounds of EPA criteria pollutants the airport releases daily. Also hear from Philip Giffee of Neighborhood of Affordable Housing and former East Boston Community News editor Renée Loth. Mothers Out Front's Liliana Tirado Arteaga advocates for more green spaces, while Eastie Farm's Kannan Thiruvengadam warns that climate change is putting residents "right at the brink."
