IMPERIAL BEACH (KUSI) – In honor of Earth Day, KUSI’s Dan Plante is back in Imperial Beach covering the same environmental disaster he covered over 40 years ago as a student at San Diego State University.
Even on Earth Day 2021, tens of millions of gallons of raw sewage is flowing into the ocean from the Tijuana River, and the United States government has done nothing to stop it. Even on Earth Day, the beach in IB is closed due to health concerns.
In celebration of Earth Day, President Joe Biden and other “climate leaders” attended the climate action summit, but they all failed to mention the biggest environmental disaster in the United States, if not the planet. Imperial Beach Mayor Serge Dedina said “there is nothing else that approaches the scale of this problem.”
