Sludge News
The "land application" of sewage sludge has been promoted by EPA since 1993 as the preferred method of sludge disposal. Millions of tons of hazardous sewage sludge have subsequently been spread on farmland, school yards, and parks in the United States, and many people living near sludged agricultural sites and many farm animals fed on sludged silage and hay have been made very sick. Many people want to stop this practice. They continue to organize and use the courts. And they could use your help. Learn about toxic sludge and say no to its disposal on farms, parks, and other places where it can poison water and soil and make humans and animals sick.
Changing federal policy can end the systematic contamination of our food supply and the degradation of our health from sewage sludge. What to do with it? Keep it off our food, gardens, yards, parks, and fields: keep sewage sludge out of life cycles.
