Twas the Night before Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

Ridgewood NJ, demand that the Ridgewood Mayor, the New Jersey Attorney General, and the NJDEP do their due diligence to find the source of legacy contamination and stop this proposed harmful development!
Activists including the Sierra Club are urging residents to hold officials accountable and demand that the Ridgewood Mayor, New Jersey Attorney General, and NJDEP conduct a full investigation following the discovery of hazardous soil contamination.

Despite public outcry, Ridgewood officials have refused to take action against those responsible.
