Chuck Stark, a teacher at George Washington High School, is one of several protesters who’ve been on a hunger strike, drawing attention to concerns about a scrap shredder under construction in the East Side neighborhood. “Teaching keeps reminding me why I’m doing this,” Stark said. “It’s for the students, their current health, the health of their families and the future of the neighborhood.” (Armando L.
