Why We Care

Child in Hospital

Children are being seen with increasing incidence of abdominal and other cancers – believed to be caused by polluted water and air.

 

 

Pipes dumping polluted water

 

Poorly or untreated effluent is released directly into waterways in many communities. Industrial waste is often allowed to flow into our rivers.

 

 

Pesticide spraying

 

Uncontrolled runoff from agriculture contains harmful chemicals – herbicides, pesticides, and excess fertilizers. Regional and national economies are severely impacted.

 

 

It’s EVERYONE’s business to clean up our rivers and there are many ways to help.
