From 2016 but I think about this a lot:
> The government of #Vietnam.. announced the results of an investigation into a massive fish-kill.. The #fishKill was caused by #ToxicPollutants.. from a steel-mill owned by #Taiwan-based industrial conglomerate #FormosaPlasticsGroup.. Citizens have long known the steel-mill in #HaTinh Province was responsible for the disaster, but the government, who didn’t respond to the environmental emergency for the first two weeks
