摘　　要：拉夫运河事件是20世纪70年代末期在美国发生的典型的有毒废气物掩埋造成严重污染的事件,该事件对运河周围居民的健康造成了极其严重的威胁。人们在路易斯·吉布斯的领导下,以拉夫运河户主协会为组织,同污染企业及政府进行了艰难的斗争。在经历了疑惑、失望、绝望之后,最终,拉夫运河居民在这场漫长的环境维权运动中赢得了胜利。在这一维权运动中,有很多经验教训值得我们深思,并对当今中国的环境维权运动有很大的启示:首先,在一场环境维权运动中必须要有一个有组织的公民团体;其次,新闻媒体在环境维权中所发挥的作用是不容忽视的;最后,相关的环保法律法规在环境维权运动中同样是必不可少的。The Love Canal Events seriously threatened the health of the residents. In order to survive, people were forced to form the Citizens＇ Clearinghouse for Hazardous Wastes（CCHW） and in the lead of Louis Gibbs they struggled hardly with polluting enterprises and the government.After the confusion, disappointment and despair, the love canal residents eventually won the day in the long environmental activism. The rights movement has a lot of experience and lessons worthy of our consideration and has significance to current Chinese environmental rights movement： Firstly, in an environment rights movement an organized civil society is necessary. Secondly, the role of news media in environmental activist cannot be ignored. Finally, the relevant environmental protection laws and regulations in environmental rights movement are also indispensable.
