The massive container terminal, known as LIT [State of Louisiana International Terminaling ], is poised to destroy hundreds of acres of wetland, damage marine wildlife by continuous dredging of the Mississippi, and cause irreversible air pollution. Not convinced? “[J]ust one of these container ships…can produce the same amount of pollution as 50 million cars…The aftermath of this pollution could result in acid rain, changing the composition of rivers and lakes, killing aquatic species and seeping into soil in such a way that critical microorganisms die off, and tipping ecosystems out of balance.” -iNews
