Setting
Louisiana is ranked third among all states in manufacturing's share (22.6%) of Gross State Product. The State's unique geographic location provides the foundation for an energy production, petroleum refining, and chemical manufacturing hub. However, the particularities of this location also make Louisiana increasingly vulnerable to the effects of pollution. Louisiana's historic rain levels constantly burden the State's water bodies with polluted runoff from agricultural and industrial practices, and their connectivity creates a system in which pollutants are stored and spread into all other realms of our environment. These conditions illustrate the challenge of forwarding Louisiana's economy while protecting its environment and inhabitants.
