Cleanup Teen Fights for Toxic Waste Cleanup (http://www.teachersdomain.org/asset/envh10_vid_superfund/) 
In this video adapted from Earth Island Institutes New Leaders Initiative, New York student Shadia Wood tells how she became an environmental activist. Wood lives near several toxic waste sites and was concerned to learn that the New York Superfund money set aside for cleaning such sites in her state had gone bankrupt. Working with other students and environmental groups, Wood lobbied the New York legislature for eight years until the Superfund program was refinanced. Environmentalist Laura Haight says that this law was the most important environmental law passed in New York State in a decade.
