My two older children are much more aware of the problems with pollution than I thought. The younger generation are being introduced to the concept of caretaking the planet and that can only be a good thing for everyone. The subjects of acid/alkaline levels, air quality and the levels of micro organisms are very important for the continuity of our planet and getting that concept across early in life may be the salvation of animal (and human) life. As long as it is done in a thought provoking and non alarmist way… they are children after all.

Some locals consider it a worthy tribute to the great age of industrial development. They may cry over family cancer victims, birth defects and other ill effects but they still do not “connect the dots”.

If the EPA cannot stop the pollution, how about more education at least?
Every hard rain, thousands of gallons of raw sewage go into the watershed. Ohio does not seem to care, they just spew more coal based micro-particulates into the air to blow into PA. And it seems the EPA just looks the other way.

It’s the first time I ever posted something on a blog. One thing that I’ve done lots of over the last 20-30 years is environmental ed presentations, and I’ve always been impressed with how much young child understand and care about the environment. I was recently in a kindergarten class at a public school here in Philadelphia for a career day event & had an interesting discussion about the BP oil spill & what would happen if the spill got hit by a passing hurricane. They understand things like that way better than adults do. So never underestimate what children will understand & take with them when you make a presentation about environmental issues.

In any event, I enjoy your blog very much and have just bookmarked it, so keep posting!
