Erin Brockovich

. . .
Therefore, instead of switching chemicals, they just lied to the community about the Chromium type they were using. I agree with this approach because this contamination was avoidable. If someone from the EPA would have made an effort to visit the PG&E plant, people would not of become seriously ill. This movie is also showing that the many Corporations do not follow the anti-pollution laws because the EPA does little, if anything, to enforce these laws. Many working parents with children struggle in balancing work and raising children. This movie was based on a true story, and I found this movie to be very interesting. Before burying the holding ponds, PG&E would send an employee to check the Hexavalent Chromium levels in these ponds. The EPA knew that PG&E dumped the contaminated water into holding ponds because they (PG&E) were given a clean up and abatement order in the late 1980s. Erin is a single mother who is raising three children while trying to hold down a job so that she can feed her children and maintain a decent living. PG&E did to prevent possible lawsuits in the future. This put hundreds of people at a severe risk by just drinking the water. No plant, microorganism, and animal that help us humans live can survive if their living area cannot sustain life due to pollution. Many single parent families are poor because they have troubles finding a place of employment that puts them above the poverty line. For single parenting, this movie is trying to show that it is not easy raising children and holding down a full-time job at the same time.
