Shannon Lisa, Program Director for the Edison Wetlands Association, investigates chemical contaminant dumping. Motivated by growing up in a contaminated state, she protects human health and the environment through "environmental detective work."

In Franklin, Indiana, Shannon uncovered a decades-old toxic cold case. After children fell ill, she analyzed over 40,000 hidden EPA documents, revealing a mismanaged industrial site and homes potentially invaded by poison gases like TCE. She coordinated residential air testing, finding toxins 18x over state thresholds, prompting a reopened EPA investigation.

Shannon continues to advocate for permanent cleanup in Franklin and national change against industrial pollution. broweryouthawards.org. Film by Storyline Media.
