Where is the outrage
over water quality
Do you know
why it matters? It matters because when our drinking water get contaminated our
bodies get contaminated.
What good is
the nation’s Clean Water Act if polluters have violated it more than half a
million times in the last five years alone, if they continue to go unpunished,
and if citizens suffer needless harm to themselves and their property?
Concerns
over toxins are great enough that Congress and the Environmental Protection
Agency regulate more than 100 pollutants through the Clean Water Act and
strictly limit 91 chemicals or contaminants in tap water through the Safe
Drinking Water Act, reported The New York Times, which recently reviewed water
pollution records and came up with a damning report that should be raising
alarms from coast to coast.
