Stop Mecury Pollution!

For years, dirty coal fired power plants in Wisconsin have been spewing mercury pollution into our environment, jeopardizing public health and destroying our ability to enjoy our lakes. And they’ve been doing this even though they have the technology available to clean up their act.

Please contact the state Department of Natural Resources today to tell them to reduce emissions 90% by 2012.

Letter	Mercury pollution is threatening public health in Wisconsin and it is ruining our ability to enjoy our lakes. The largest source of mercury pollution in Wisconsin is coal-fired power plants. Pollution ends up in our lakes and rivers and eventually into the fish we eat. Wisconsinites should not have to worry about health risks when eating fish caught in our lakes and rivers. Technology already exists that would reduce mercury emissions from power plants by 90 percent or more. Please establish a rule that reduces mercury pollution from power plants by 90 percent by 2012.
