What really happens...

We talk about the water and air quality. Do we know where the reports for this information comes from? Who says that the best way to figure out how much "stuff" is in our water. What else happens in the streams that we don't know about. I was recently speaking to my soil judging coach who used to work in a Uranium mine. He was telling me about all the stuff that was dumped into the river that was never reported. This can hardly be the only incident that wasn't reported in the world.

The article, 'USEPA proposes changes to lead testing, reporting' speaks of "non-reporting" of excess levels of lead. The article is about implimenting new barriers against unreported contaminants in water sytems. The problem with the water sytems is that they are not stationary. Like the animals protected by the Fish and Wildlife servive water is constantly moving and more than the animals whats in it is changing too. Another article at the same site, 'Poll: 80% of Americans desire safe water—and will pay for it' talks about how Americans are willing to pay for the cleaner water that the new barriers would create. A question I give to you is who is going to pay for the rest of the world?
