One of our most significant legal victories at Tennessee Riverkeeper was in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. This lovely town boasts scenic frontage along the beautiful Shoal Creek, but unfortunately, it allowed the creek to become an eyesore due to frequent sewage overflows that went unaddressed.

The use and production of single use plastics is increasing rapidly, especially since 2020.
Besides microplastics, there are other dangerous chemicals that we might ingest through plastic including phthalates and bisphenols. We know humans are ingesting microplastics and plastic chemicals at an alarming rate, but we are still only learning and realizing the harm that this does to our bodies.

As communities nationwide grapple with the escalating effects of plastics, PFAS, and industrial pollution, there is increasing urgency to address the environmental dangers posed by a lesser-known but highly toxic chemical: 6PPD.
The Cumberland and Tennessee River Watersheds are among the most abundantly biodiverse regions in the Western Hemisphere. All of these different animals and plants mean we have a lot more endangered species than most places.
We have four species of endangered bats. Some of these species of bats fly across the country to our area to hibernate in caves for the winter. Our region has a lot of karst topography, or limestone, which creates a lot of caves!
