You Can Help the Ramapough and the North American Environment

[Prrton]

Sharing information on a petition which I've just signed.

From Change.org:

  For 25 years, Ford Motor Company dumped toxic
  waste from a nearby factory into New Jersey's
  Ringwood State Park.

  Members of the Ramapough tribe, who've lived
  on the land for generations, routinely fell ill
  from various poisons. Their children suffered
  nosebleeds any time they played outside.

  Cancer rates in the area are elevated, and
  the Bergen Record found arsenic and lead one
  hundred times above safe levels in the nearby
  Wanaque Watershed, which supplies water to millions.

  But instead of working to clean up the area, the
  Environmental Protection Agency is actually
  considering giving the land back to Ford to use
  it as a toxic waste dump.  

  There's not much time left to protect the park --
  the EPA is announcing its plan in less than two weeks.

  Edison Wetlands Association started a petition on
  Change.org asking the EPA to keep the park public
  and make Ford clean up the park for the public's use.

  Click HERE to add your name to Edison Wetlands'
  petition to demand the EPA protect Ringwood State
  Park from Ford's continued pollution.

Now if only tsaysawtute could learn such a thing as efficiency, and not dump like that...
