A Bit of Good News on the Mercury Front

Today I received an email from the staff at Oceana, the group whose report I referred to in the post about mercury releases from chlorine product. They were updating me with this bit of news: The Number One Source of Mercury Air Pollution in Wisconsin Commits to Switch. According to Oceana, this single action will result in a full 28% reduction in mercury air emissions in Wisconsin, nearly cutting the state’s emissions by a third.

I think this is evidence that open dialog and freely available information about the environmental health issues we face can result in change.
