Did you know that fish in the Ogeechee River are contaminated with mercury?
Mercury from coal-fired power plants is not only poisoning our food supply, but our children as well. Pregnant women who eat mercury-contaminated fish pass the mercury onto their babies. High levels of exposure can forever effect neurological development, leading to development delays and learning disabilities, including impairments in cognitive thinking, memory, attention, language usage, and fine motor and visual spatial skills.
Waterkeeper Alliance has launched an innovative web-based campaign, The Dirty Lie (www.thedirtylie.com), to provide more information on the dangerous effects of coal and to inspire an energy policy that rejects this archaic and dangerous source of energy and embraces safe, renewable sources instead.
Visit the Dirty Lie site to learn more about the effects of dirty coal on our health and our communities and to get facts.
