Toxic Triangle: Oakland

Conscious Youth Media Crew's Reel Hood Heroes series showcases community members and community leaders who are affected by the Bay Area's "Toxic Triangle." West Oakland is circled by high traffic port and highway networks that emit pollution day and night, affecting the health of children in a low income neighborhood where few families have adequate insurance. Youth advocate Taraneisha Nathaniels won a prestigious national award for her work documenting and raising awareness of air pollution in her neighborhood.[youtube=http://youtu.be/hDrpe_4Vv_M  &w=320&h=240]
