Earlier
this week, clergy leaders from Occupy Faith met with leaders from Staten Island
Occupy Sandy and several local clergy members at St. Margaret Mary’s Church.
We talked about serious problems here on Staten Island and the health
problems that exist because of the rapid growth of mold in homes that were
under water for some time. Occupy Sandy leaders spoke about how mold and
sea water interact and how masks need to be used. They also said that
people living in mold infested dwellings are vulnerable to all kinds of health
issues. How can we address the mold issues when bleach and disinfectant
are not always going to kill the mold. How can we work together to insure
that this devastating situation is tackled fully and completely? These
were some of the issues that we are struggling with on Staten Island. The
Staten Island Clergy Leadership which will meet in several weeks here will also
be focusing on this and other long term recovery issues.
