Fighting acid rain
Acid rain is a real dilemma, but what can
we do about it? The big initial blast of
publicity concerning it is over, but the
problem remains. Politicians dodge the
issue, industrialists ignore it and research
into its effects is being cut back, and all the
time it's eating away at our environment
like a cancer. The initial hulabaloo revolved
around fishing, and everyone is aware of the
problem there but as time goes on, more and
more effects are being identified.
It is suspected that acid rain is the cause
of massive maple sugar tree plantation die
offs, which have been occurring initially in
Quebec, and more recently in Ontario. It
was called "Seche" and no one knew what
the cause was, but now evidence is pointing
strongly at acid rain. European countries,
especially the Black Forest areas of
Germany have been very conscious of its
effects for years, but' are powerless to stop
it. It is even speculated that this generation
may be the last to enjoy what limited forests
there are left in Europe.
Scandinavian officials have issued
warnings to moose hunters not to eat
internal organs because of high levels of
cadmium.
The problem here is that when the pH of a
lake is altered to the acidic side. certain
elements like cadmium are released from
the bedrock layers and accumulate in the
ilk lakeshore sediments. This mobile element
then concentrates in aquatic plants which
moose browse on, and comes to rest in the
liver and kidneys. Of course, all the
research is related to its ultimate effect on
humans, but I wonder just what effect it's
having on the moose as well.
And if it's affecting moose, what about
ducks and other shore birds who feed in the
same system, or maybe even on the same
plants?
Or what about all the problems we haven't
identified yet, and won't until it's too late to
do anything about them? The problems are
a lot more threatening and widespread than
most people realize, and those that do know
won't admit it. .
What can we do? Compain! Every chance
you get to anyone is a position to do anything
about it, and keep on complaining. Write
letters to politicians, and speak up at
meetings every chance you get. The
squeaky wheel always gets the grease - as
long as it doesn't rust up and disappear first.
Beating the bugs
With the nicer weather, people will be
heading out to campgrounds, back yards,
and barbecues, and they'll run into that age
old problem again. BUGS!
There are many good insect repellents on
the market, and "Ole Time" Woodsman is
one of the better ones. To get a better
understanding of which one you should buy,
I'm reproducing a short news release
describing the different options and leave
the choice uo to vou to suit your needs.
Widely used by the old-timers, the "Ole
Time" Woodsman insect repeuents nave
been acquired by Pete Rickard, Inc. in
('obleskill, New York. Both companies were
founded back in the early '30s, combining
over 100 years of experience in
manufacturing top-quality scents and
trapping products for use by outdoorsmen.
Acclaimed by many experts as the most
effective insect repellents available, the
"Ole Tirne" Woodsman products include the
following in a handy, pocket -fitting size:
JUNGLE PLUS: Fully armed with a 100
percent DEET ,formula, it's deadly to
mosquitos, •black flies, chiggers, ticks and
gnats. Both odorless and non -oily, just, a few
drops provide up t� ten hours of full
protection.
JUNGLE FORMULA: For those who
perfer a little .less DEET,. Jungle Formula
meets the U.S. Military standards with 75
percent DEET -- an excellent repellent for
biting insects and bugs. ( Available in 2 oz.
Squeeze Bottle and pocket -sized aerosol.)
FLY DOPE: The original insect repellent
that has protected New Englanders for over
50 years against the infamous black fly.
