Anything else or an abnormal level is pollution!


INCO, in Sudbury, Ontario, in 1998 emitted...

234,794 tonnes/258,813 tons
sulphur dioxide (SO2) gas


(an average 643.27 tonnes/709.08 tons per day!)

If you go the same distance UP, you can't breath any more!

We exist on this planet in a space of air a little over two miles thick and,
if we continue like this in the name of profit, well, you figure it out...

remember when...

10 years ago there was one kid per grade with asthma,
now there's at least one kid per class with asthma!

Consider the cost to the future this represents...

the sun,

fish,
trees,
bugs,
frogs,


people...
