No More Coal Sign
notes: label: Description
content: Helen Johnson-Leipold carried this placard marching next to her brother Sam Johnson (CEO SC Johnson) during a protest in Racine Wisconsin over plans to plans to build a new coal-fired power generation station. Scientists and environmentalists argued that emissions from coal-burning power plants caused pollution. Seeking to be both responsible and profitable, the SC Johnson plant powered their Waxdale, Wisconsin, factory with a combination of wind energy, methane gas from a nearby dump, and cleaner-burning natural gas.
