The Environmental Blog

Not surprisingly, if you visit The Environmental Blog you'll get exactly what you expect: a collection of news stories that all relate to an environmental topic. Personally, I do not visit these types of sites frequently. However, they do provide relevant information on all these environment.
The most recent post on The Environmental Blog is titled "Mercury Levels Still on the Rise" and it highlights the rising levels of mercury in our water and air. The rising levels in our water directly affects the quality of seafood that comes from that water. Since the 1990s, the levels of mercury in water samples has increased 30%.
It doesn't seem that the author really wants to scare the reader yet the statistics given may do so. Rather, the focus seems to be on informing the public of these findings and how they may affect us. The author also uses the oppurtunity to encourage the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to stay on their toes and address the problem.
While these numbers may scare some, they certainly will not keep me from eating seafood.
