Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

According to the EPA, the nation's "Superfund" program "investigates and cleans up the most complex uncontrolled or abandoned hazardous waste sites in the country." Currently, 1,306 of these toxic tragedies dot the U.S. map. The creators of this site plan to visit 365 of them, one for every day of the year. They launched their tour on September 1 with stops at Edgewater, New Jersey and North Hempstead, New York. Now headed west, they will eventually wend their way to the natural splendor—and unnatural contamination—that populates Hawaii. (Say it ain't so, O'ahu!) Each Superfund locale gets a page documenting its hazardous makeup, the demographics of its neighboring community, and the timeline of its development and woeful demise. The pages are a marvel of digital "visualization" and statistical terror. But don't let that stop you. This land is our land, after all.
