Toxins And You!

First of all, I work in the grocery industry when something is found to be wrong with a food item (recall on peanut butter), it is pulled immediately chain wide. We will not allow a tainted food item to enter the home environment. When it is discovered e-mails, and notices are sent out and the media is notified. It is very different for our natural environment if fish are dying due to toxins in the stream very little is done and almost nobody is notified. Toxins in the natural environment are ignored. Even when they effect children playing in these environments these pose a greater threat to people in these environments and the media barely reports it.

I care very deeply and feel that all life should be protected. The mining waste (arsenic, mercury, lead, ect.) must be cleaned up. How many animals must die?, how many people must die?, or how many environments must be deemed toxic before we act?

Now it costs money to do this and we need help. We must try to at least identify the worst areas and then attempt to remove or get a time frame of how long it will take. We can stop adding toxins to the enviorment by each individual doing their part. We must contain all chemical spills and control these natural settings better. It seems that anywhere people go we leave a mess. Maybe we should contain ourselves so that other enviorments can survive.
