Help stop BP from Dumping in Lake Michigan

Submitted by Debi on August 13, 2007 - 8:13pm

The following is from an e-mail I received from Senator Dick Durbin concerning BP and Lake Michigan...If you haven't already, please go to the link below and let your voice be heard...

British Petroleum wants to dump 1,584 pounds of ammonia and 4,925 pounds of industrial solids into Lake Michigan every single day. Their plan represents a massive setback to decades of work to clean up the lake.

Over 5,000 people -- including you -- have already emailed BP CEO Bob Malone to ask him to stop this terrible idea in its tracks. We know the company is hearing us because it has started running ads in Illinois newspapers to defend polluting the lake.

Stand with me to protect our lake. Ask your friends and family to join us today.

Boycott BP

We shouldn't have to debate these kind of issues. It should be an automatic NO! Frankly I was shocked to hear that BP was such a polluter, that's how fooled I was. The message needs to get out that we will no longer tolerate criminal manslaughter of mother-nature. BP needs to take a step back and reexamine their practises and not their image. If nothing happens BP needs to boycotted.

I will definitely help by sending a letter. Children are being diagnosed at alarming rates of rare cancers due to environmental hazards! This is a health hazard for the people and children of Michigan.

Atraction's action communities are created to help people plug-in and engage after seeing our films. Help us continue our work and support the message by buying our DVDs, T-shirts or other cool things related to our films. The films we make are created to raise awareness and help foster change around issues of the environment, social justice, consciousness, health and well-being. With each film we launch and action community and conduct educational tours of the film to universities and schools. We also create teaching materials that help people dive deeper into the subject. By purchasing a DVD, or other things, you help spread the message.

Purpose

The purpose of this website is to inspire people to take action. We encourage people to take action at home and in their communities. On this social action website, you will see thousands of examples of what people have chosen to do to make the world a better place. We believe that when people see what other people are doing, it helps them take action too. So we ask that you open a profile, and tell us what action you are doing, perhaps you are going to plant a vegetable garden, or you are going to help start a recycling program at school, whatever it is, let us know and tell us how it's going. You can post videos, pictures and statements. If you need inspiration, check and see what people have done by looking on the action map or joining a group that has already started. Together, step by step, action by action, we can create a healthy and just world.
