The port is planning to build a big new terminal in North Charleston. When it is fully up and running, the truck and ship traffic from port operations will nearly double, causing tens of millions of dollars each year in extra health care costs for Charleston residents.

In California and other places, public health is a high priority. Ports are good neighbors, working closely with community and environmental groups to clean up their act. Ports spend a little money to save everyone a lot of money — and to save everyone a lot of sickness and heartache as well. So please come hear community activists and medical experts from California talk about how to reduce port pollution.
