1/3 of Vermonters draw their drinking water from Lake Champlain so dumping treated sewage into it should be prohibited.

Created by C.E. on November 26, 2011

1/3 of Vermont residents draw their drinking water from Lake Champlain, while simultaneously dozens of sewage treatment plants in VT, New York and Canada dump treated sewage into the peoples' drinking water. The use of chemicals raises the incident risks of cancer. Thousands of motor boats are licensed on Lake Champlain and they drip drops of oil and gas into the peoples' drinking water. Hunters shooting ducks and geese with rifles drop bullets into Lake Champlain, polluting the peoples' drinking water. Lake Champlain ferries could be run by solar power and horse power. Vacationers and Sportsmen could use kayaks, canoes and row boats, and bows and arrows. Why is Vermont the only State where the peoples' drinking water is allowed to be seriously and willfully and intentionally polluted?
