Summary:
Bucket Brigades are the fruition of community members being proactive in determining what toxins are in their environments with the ultimate goal of reducing exposure to harmful substances.
By taking air samples, Bucket Brigades enable people to track pollution and aid in the process of combating environmental threats to the community. By documenting excessive amounts of pollution, using a basic set of tools (buckets), community members become more informed and are better equipped to deal with forces (refineries, industrial plants, wastes sites) that emit and wish to maintain the status quo.
