US Not-For-Profit turns mining pollution into paint
A US non-profit is saving the environment, by turning pollution from mining into vibrant pigments that are used in paint.
Rural Action, a members-based not-for-profit based in Appalachian Ohio, was founded in 1991, on a mission to create environmental change in the rural Appalachian communities.
