This week I found out about the fact that the EPA & the state of Indiana have given a British Petroleum refinery an exemption from dumping laws. They are going to be dumping mercury, ammonia and more industrial sludge directly into Lake Michigan. Of course as a Chicagoan, this is not something that I can get behind. I ask that everyone who reads this please, please, please boycott BP. I spent too many summer days going to the lake to just sit passively. Please read the article and fill out the petition. The petition takes 2 seconds to do and you don’t need to live in Chicago to have your voice heard!
