Dead Zones Dramatically Increase

According to a sweeping new report by the US federal Office of Science and Technology Policy, dead zones have increased dramatically in U.S. waters over the past 50 years, threatening ecosystems and fisheries nationwide. The multiagency assessment says that incidents of hypoxia — a condition in which oxygen levels drop so low that fish and other animals are stressed or killed — have risen nearly 30-fold since 1960 due in part to man-made pollutants.

@1019drummer I consider it and your absolutely right! But I know your referring to the majority of people!

I try to tell my family members and friends about that and they just blow it of as paranoia.

Do you know the worst thing about their 'ignorance', because the majority of people don't pay attention to things that will effect their lives in the long run, it keeps the system going and encourages them to do even more sick things and charge us for it cause they know people aren't paying attn!

@genefire I concur! Totally! They let them do what they want and raise the minimums. They get there palms greased and we get our ass's greased! They don't care. Just like the MMS!

The pharms and their drug push on tv every day for some new bullshit to run through your body and no one ever ever considers or takes into account that your body will have to process and eject the lefovers of that med into the toilet,....ie the environment. Tylonol,vicks and alive and a host of other needless crap are killing our rees and food supply.

@1eyednewt the EPA are working against us purposely I believe. I've become that sinister in my line of thinking about our government, which is sad.

It was hard watching the staged theatrical hearings they held when they had both of the heads of the EPA testify to the other Puppets called congress last month or the month before,I forget because I try to keep up with the Plays they put on for us, I mean congressional oversight hearings, but they lied and acted as they didn't know corexit was toxic

waste water containing pharmaceuticals going in the water ways is another serious aspect worth looking into

[1eyednewt]

This proves how worthless the EPA is!!
