Toxic Soil Busters

Once a booming center of the American Industrial Revolution, Worcester, Massachusetts’ Main South area is now showing sings of abandonment with children at risk of brain damage, stunted growth and reproductive problems caused by lead poisoning found in their own backyards.  16 year-old Janice Serrano and her friends founded a cooperative business, Toxic Soil Busters, to battle brownfields with environmental entrepreneurship and revitalize an entire community.
