Nancy Holt believes that sewer sludge spraying on farms near her home in Orange County, N.C., is harming her community. Wastewater treatment plants offer the sludge, also called biosolids, as free fertilizer. Video by Sara Peach.
Biosolids are safer than they have ever been and the EPA's 503 rule checks for heavy metals, dioxins and pathogens to make sure they are at a trace level. Your drinking water has more bad stuff in it than class A biosolids. Sounds to me like let me blame someone for my problems video, so I can sue them.
Good video. There was a Democracy Now story not too long ago about the effects of sewage being used by government employed workers as fertilizer on grass in poor inner city areas. It just goes to show how much our government, in bed with the major corporations is a totally despicable operation.
Could it be buttermobile works for a sludge company? You transparent twit.

Could it also be that she was exposed to DDT and other toxic herbicides/pesticides that were being sprayed everywhere in the 1950s and 1960s?
