Would you pollute the purest water in the world?

It is the purest water at risk, not just my backyard. The water located at the proposed North Simcoe Landfill, Dump Site 41, is comparable to core samples of 5,000 to 6,000 year old artic ice. The dump site is a global concern attracting public figures, scientists, and politicians; such as Maude Barlow, who is the adviser on water to the president of the United Nations, and chairperson of the Council of Canadians; David Suzuki, one of Canada’s leading environmental scientists; and even Ralph Nader, past American presidential candidate.

Professor William Shotyk, of the University of Heidelberg in Germany, tested the water in 2006 and discovered the remarkable low level of heavy metals. In other areas water needs to be softened and filtered in attempt to remove pollutants and metals known to cause cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and many other serious illnesses.

Pesticides, fertilizers, and pollutants are currently being filtered naturally through the glacial debris in the ground. The Alliston aquifer’s upper aquitard is being destroyed and will provide a direct channel for pharmaceuticals and toxic waste to the aquitard’s 13 rivers and streams, and the aquifer.

There is no need to throw this dump site into any backyard, when the other dump sites managed by the County of Simcoe could have more than 40 remaining years of their lifespan. Their lifespan could be longer when taking in consideration of the continuing advancement and innovation of recycling and composting.

The Alliston aquifer’s “backyard” from Georgian Bay to the Oak Ridges Moraine consists of many species with a better excuse than any other backyard: the purest water in the world; which makes the site the world’s backyard. As the world is running out of clean fresh water, we need to protect what we have. More and more Blue Wave People from around the world are standing up and putting out a call to stop Dump Site 41. This water needs to be celebrated, not polluted.

Dale Goldhawk fights back!

My previous videos on Site 41:

• 2007 Katy Austin, Simcoe-Grey NDP Candidate
• July 4th, 2009 walk
• July 25, 2009 Rally for a Moratorium

On July 4th, the people gathered in Elmvale and walked to the proposed Dump Site 41. Since the 6th there has been a native blockade of the site, where they planted trees at the entrances to the site.

We, including you, need to stop this mess from occurring. The site is atop an aquifer containing the cleanest water in the world. Help by signing the petition at http://www.stopdumpsite41.ca/, and call Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty telling him to end this now. McGuinty’s number is (416) 325-1941. You can also write him on his website, or snail mail him at the following address:
Dalton McGuinty, Premier
Legislative Building
Queen’s Park
Toronto ON M7A 1A1

Let’s protect and save the cleanest water. It is an international treasure, not a dumping site for waste. Leaching poison will flow to surrounding area land and drinking water, into the Great Lakes, and around the world.

You are needed now as it is only a matter of weeks when they want to start dumping.
