Essay about the small industrial town of Sauget, Illinois, first incorporated in 1926 under the name “Monsanto”—after the multi-billion-dollar international biotech company whose corporate headquarters are located across the river in suburban St. Louis. The town has been in slow decline since the 1970s and is labelled an “environmental disaster” thanks to its dangerous levels of air pollution. Published in Belt Magazine, September 2015.
