Video Transcript: Daughter of Mesothelioma Victim Discusses Life Without Her Father
I must admit I am more angry. I am cynical, much more cynical that I used to be. I think I am probably more environmentally aware than I was before. Because just thinking back through my life, I had worked in an office in Minneapolis. There was a construction site directly across the street. And during construction they put up fencing all around because they were excavating about 20 feet below ground surface. There were small signs all around this fencing, that said, “Beware Asbestos.” And it’s like, oh great; I went to that job every day for several months, and the only protection was a chain-link fence between asbestos and me. So, I think now I am more aware of my environment and what the potentials are... and to ask questions about the things that are out there that might seem insignificant. But you know a construction sight: everybody goes past them everyday. And it’s like ok, well which way is the wind blowing, and when was that building built, and what was in there that is now airborne?
