Clean up Toxic Waste Dump in France

Greenpeace activists clean up toxic waste on common land close to a town. Analysis by Greenpeace has shown that the toxic waste is very poisonous. Further research has shown that the chemical companies Novartis, Ciba and Syngenta have known about the dump for 4 years but have failed to act. Greenpeace is calling for the dump site to be cleaned up.
