Mercury Epidemic in Nation's Streams


Water quality is a basic right which is being abused and used against the populace. Many of us have been screaming about fluoride in water for years, and it seems every couple of months some new article comes out pointing towards new problems with our water supplies. A recent TIME magazine article outlines the widespread problem of mercury in streams nationwide. Close to 300 streams were tested and not one was found free of mercury, with over a quarter of the fish containing dangerous levels.

It is long past time to do something about our water quality. Read this article, and check out your own city's water standards to see what you are dealing with.
