Donate billions of dollars to organizations who do NOTHING! To take surveys, to pad their pockets or to sit on them. We are to recycle, yet they are allowed to dump billions, maybe trillions of gallons of sludge into the inner harbor? What sense does this make? We need to stand up to this type of double standards. “WE” can not dump gas, oil, antifreeze, trash into the bay, but THEY can? Who’s making these laws anyway? Who is allowed to break them? We need million dollar grants and more money to clean the bay yet The Department of Environmental control says THEY gave the city permission to dump it there. Who are “THEY” to give the permission to dump all these contaminates into the inner harbor (off pier # 5) with profound and damaging consequences for ecosystems? In an effort to raise awareness of the destruction to the natural world caused by human activity.
We need to flood the mayor’s, the governor’s and city official offices with e-mails and/or phone calls. I know, It’s like calling 911 on the cops. I called to report illegal dumping and they told me to “Call back Tuesday“. Today (being Thursday) by Tuesday “THEY” will be done. The damage will have been done! WE can’t dump it down the drain, down the sewers, but they can dump it directly into the bay? Who says they have the permission to break their own laws. Good for some but no for all. Why do we have laws to protect these creatures if we are just going to ignore them?. Call, Fax, E-mail, text. Together we CAN make a difference!

“Tell them to “STOP DUMPING CONTAMINATED SNOW INTO THE BAY“. It only takes ONE drop of oil to contaminate a million gallons of saltwater. The bay can NOT take all the gas, oil but also a drop in salt content (salinity). Did you not think of the results? Millions of creatures will DIE as a result of THIS action. The billions of dollars it has taken to clean the bay, we are appalled by this action. STOP! NO! DON'T. "They" are being allowed to dump snow containing gas, oil, trash, antifreeze, and God only know what else off of pier #5 of the inner harbor (Maryland)? WHY are they allowed to do this? Can we file a citizens arrest? Who is going to pay for this? The tax payers? Is there going to be a clean-up? Why are they allowed to dump contaminates into the inner harbor? Why, is the Department of Environmental control giving permission to dump contaminates into the inner harbor? “ No such thing as “Clean snow”, or is this “Do as I say not as I do”.
PLEASE: Copy - paste this letter and join our efforts to get them to STOP!
