Forget Kyoto and GHG

This is the real environmental ... uh ... mess.

Every day, six plants in Miami-Dade, Broward and south Palm Beach counties pump about 300 million gallons of sewage into the Atlantic Ocean.

''In my lifetime, we've pumped enough sewage offshore to fill Lake Okeechobee twice,'' he said. ``It's probably the biggest environmental disaster in Florida, but because nobody sees it, nothing's been done.''

From the London Free Press ....

Environment Minister John Baird visited the community of Merrickville, near Smiths Falls, to announce $2 million in funding to help build a new sewage treatment plant.

Baird says Ontario is the only province that hasn't signed on to the Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund and is missing out on $64 million in funding. He accuses Premier Dalton McGuinty of wasting time and playing politics instead of securing federal funding for his province.
