Dear Friend:I was just reading about a shocking proposal called "SewageBlending" - and thanks to the Bush Administration it may becoming to drinking water sources near you. Did you know that about 8 million Americans get sick from exposure to polluted waters? That's horrible enough, but itcould get worse if the Environmental Protection Agency relaxes their restrictions on dumping sewage into our waterways. I sent an e-mail to Congress - can you, too? Click on the link below to take action. The EPA is convinced that diverting sewage from secondary treatment units is the answer to sewer system maintenance, but sewage dumping is more of a problem than a solution. Discharging sewage that has had no treatment to kill pathogens and remove pollutants can carry life-threatening diseases that could seriously affect children and the elderly. Please join me in taking a stand against sewage dumping. You can take action now by clicking here:
