Mining Company Wants to Poison Two Ponds in Central Newfoundland
Well worth the read if you care about Newfoundland and Labrador's future.
Kodak over at Canada's dark horse does a good job of explaining the Proposal by AUR Resources to use a natural pond Trout Pond as an effluent disposal site for the proposed mining site Duck Pond.
The beauty of his blog is not only does he disagree with abuses to our enviroment for foreign profiteers but he also proposes alternatives and highlights where these alternatives have worked. Plus all of the pertinant links for information gathering.
He even gives a list of contact info so if you feel you want to make your voice heard you will know who and where to shout.
* Chad Griffiths (enviro@mun.ca) announced that there is a meeting on Wed., May 24, at the MUN University Centre, Rm. 2000.
