[With thanks to EC in Buffalo for the tip, below some information and a link to a brilliant, socially engaged hypertext project.]Superfund365, A Site-A-Day is an online data visualization application with an accompanying RSS-feed and email alert system.
Each day for a year Superfund365 will visit one toxic site currently active in the Superfund program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We begin the journey in the New York City area and work our way across the country, ending the year in Hawaii. In the end, the archive will consist of 365 visualizations of some of the worst toxic sites in the U.S., roughly a quarter of the total number on the Superfund's National Priorities List (NPL). Along the way, we will conduct video interviews with people involved with or impacted by Superfund. Content changes every day so be sure to visit often or use the subscribe tools to have content delivered to you.
Superfund365 is a 2007 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. for its Turbulence website. It was made possible with funding from the Jerome Foundation. Additional funding provided by New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA).
