Georgia-Pacific "walk and talk" Shirleen Anderson, Mike Jones, Forest Kilb, Leontien Kennedy, Jessica Sines, Laurie Perin, Ali Moody, Melanie O’Brien, Stephen Gabor, Mark Biszantz, Jessica Kramer, Liz Ilg, Kendra Ulrich, Jarett Gardner, Zach DePompei, Chad Iacovetta and Marcus Perkins. Ohio Citizen Action led a group of community members and volunteers on a neighborhood “walk and talk” on March 31, 2007. The group spoke with residents, handed out yard signs and a news letter. The group talked about the toxic pit Georgia-Pacific uses for its waste water. Many neighbors put up yard signs saying: “Georgia-Pacific Close The Pit.” They placed 100 yard signs in the neighborhood of Georgia-Pacific and will be getting more to distribute over the coming weeks. Sixteen homes on Watkins road are dependent on wells for their drinking water. In 1992 these wells were found to be contaminated with Phenol, a chemical released by Georgia-Pacific. Ohio Citizen Action is pressuring Georgia-Pacific to pay for the tap-in fees for each household on well water. “This would be a good-faith gesture and would be a great investment for Georgia-Pacific to make in the community,” Leontien Kennedy, Columbus area program director said.
