The report was that we would be out of maple syrup by 1990. Switching to unleaded dropped the lead content in both our forests, and our fish.

There are still strong erosives in our atmosphere, resulting in the heavy pitting you might find in sidewalks and on rooftops. Not as bad as it once was, thanks to our cleaning up on emissions, but it's still there.

Cheers,
Dan

      - No...The lead emmissions had to be stopped because they were causing test scores to fall in our public schools. - Scott Evil - 7/30/2003 2:09:18 PM
