Disgusting

Can you believe raw sewage is still dumped into our lakes and rivers? It's true. In Toronto raw sewage was dumped into a creek that flowed into Lake Ontario. The inspectors say it is unintentional but it is still disgusting and inexcusable in my opinion.

Now the Sierra Legal Defense Fund has published a report card of Great Lakes cities and their sewage treatment practices. Scary stuff. I don't have much else to say about that.

  1. This is one of the reasons why I won't eat any fish from the Great Lakes. I live on Lake Ontario and never swim in it either. A friend of mine took her dog for a swim last year and hours later it got very sick and had to be taken to emergency. The Lab almost died from a bacterial infection that was contracted from the lake.

    These idiots that dump sewage in the water do not care what the long term affects are and figure it is someone else's problem.

    Law's need to be enforced and penalties must become more severe.
