This is a really neat trick so look carefully.
First show them Camden, New Jersey – a Tragic Case Study of a “GREEN” Cement Mill. This operation has the same basic makeup as the one proposed by ORCEM and it is pretty bleak and black.
Show them the video first, call their attention to the air pollution, the truck traffic, the dust from open SLAG piles, the suffering of cancer and asthma..
