Okay, not the type of thing that we normally post here, but this is something important to me.

BP Amoco has gotten permission from the EPA to dump toxic sludge into Lake Michigan because it’s too expensive for them to take care of properly.

Please sign the petition to stop them. I live about an hour from the lake and I take my daughter swimming in it. Much of the fresh water of the Great Lakes region comes from Lake Michigan and the other Great Lakes, which are all connected. Also, the fish have enough toxins in them.

I was at Lollapalooza last weekend in Chicago (Read my review at Ninja Crayon, Ko Maruyama’s Blog.) At Lolla, there were people walking around with petitions in bright green t-shirts with "Save Our Lake". Eddie Vedder (his band Pearl Jam headlined) sang a song called Don’t Go to BP Amoco. Yeah, nice cell phone video, but the audio isn’t too bad.
