Very Sad News

             On this #Earth Day there is very sad news that has just come out concerning the earth.
                 The mercury, found in habitats located in some of the most remote areas in the region, exceeds U.S. Environmental Protection Agency health thresholds for potential impacts to fish, birds and humans in some cases. The information came after scientists with the U.S. Geological Service and National Park Service analyzed both popular sport fish and smaller prey fish in 21 national parks across 10 western states. According to their recently published report, mercury concentrations were generally low, but they still found some individual fish with mercury levels exceeding the EPA’s human health criterion in Colorado, California, Washington and Wyoming....
      It is to be noted that there was no mercury in the earths system until man put it there.
I'm afraid that in our greed, thoughtlessness and arrogance we've done harm to the planet that can not be undone. I'm afraid we have doomed our future generations to an earth that is not as livable as when I was a kid and you could drink safely from a mountain stream, the streams, rivers and oceans teemed with fish. Now what is left is less and less safe to eat. 
    On this day I am sickened and very very sad!
