I’m really glad that I came across this article Lisa. In my opinion it’s important for everyone to be involved with communities before starting their career in whatever area they might practice. Volunteer work can connect you to people who otherwise you wouldn’t necessarily meet. This can surely influence your career choices and the level of dedication to these causes in the future, be that to be an environmental advocate or other causes.
I read a news, that freshly graduated lawyers in NY will require 50 hours of community work to pass the Bar exam. Some see it as outrageous, but this will surely influence them on their path and who knows maybe more of them will dedicate their career to environmental law.

Ask Sun0co, Inc. where is the DEP sign off for Sunoco Home Heating Oil delivery driver Chris Middleton’s oil spill NRC report#54479 and PEMA report #200212504318 into the back yards of Chester Township homes which was left to migrate into their basements for 3 days prior to discovery 1/23/2001 and left under these homes forever.
Why no action from EPA/PA DEP no records of reports, testing and removal of oil and contaminated soil left to migrate in the basements, no DEP sign off or fines. Sunoco’s agents admitted guilt in 2005, PA DEP saw reports & met the sick spill site resident who later died.
Six years of continuances, Sanctions with a Gag Oder preventing presentation of evidence of guilt because the Plaintiff said no more bogus test. Sunoco, Inc. and Mulry & Creswell Environmental was granted a Summary Judgment and homes in a minority neighborhood was left with toxic soil under them which cause leukemia/cancer to make residents sick or cause them to die for decades to come.
One of the two judges that granted continuances died in January of 2010, his obituary stated he served on the Sunoco/Chevron Golf league for over 25 years, a sad example of no justice.
Chester Township officials angered by warnings written on the building across from their parking lot warning residents this is a toxic oil spill site, are demolishing the building whose owner “Did the Right Thing”, refused to accept “Hush Money” and endanger lives by renting her property this home. They are taking her building, tearing it down and charge her cost of demolition and legal fees. Yet they have no concern for the environmental health and safety of current resident and/or future residents in the attached twin home living over toxic soil to get sick and or die.
Who can helps make this fortune 500 oil company pay for their drivers oil spill and destruction of minority owners/victims homes, when oil money shuts down the government and the justice system?
