From WATER RESTORATION to SEA LIFE

In our area, the Niagara River, toxic chemicals are being dumped
uncontrollably. Does anyone have a similar situation???
TWIG at Notre Dame: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:22PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Near our school there has been a lot of residential construction... the
ravine has deteriorated!! We want to organize a river clean-up. We thought
this would get people involved so that they can see the pollution problem
...if they cannot see it it's harder for people to understand.

TWIG: You made a good point because I don't see any pollution where I live
and honestly I can say I'm not feeling as if I'm affected.

We are currently preparing a project on the restoration of Bisset Lake...
It's being gradually polluted by the development of the area, Colby
Village. It is infested with toxic mutagens and chemicals and tires and
boots and stuff. :)
Auburn Drive High School: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:25PM EST (-0500 GMT)
We are going to be presenting our Operation: Restore Bisset Lake at the
conference in Amsterdam.

Auburn Drive.... Are you trying to restore any certain species there?
Auburn Drive High School: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:30PM EST (-0500 GMT)
No, We are only a small group. What we are aiming for is to try and clean up
the lake for people can enjoy the lake as they used to. We want the wild
life, like ducks to be able to live there again.

Hey there! Environment problems aren't always global. I live in a small town
and we are having major problems with our sewage lagoons. An environmental
study was done, but it was disgustingly biased! The committee left out so
many factors. We are still fighting so that the unenvironmental solution
won't be passed. Any comments?
tgmag@tgmag.ca: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:19PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Bell, bravo on the lagoons action. Not many people know that raw sewage is the
biggest cause of water pollution.

We helped with the FREE CORKY campaign...
Bell High School 3: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:46PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Hey Emery C.I.! You guys should get in on the discussion. Can you offer any
comments on any of the topics?
Emery C.I.: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:46PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Please tell us more about the FREE CORK campaign.
TWIG at Notre Dame: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:51PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Emery: The Free Corky campaign was going on just before Mother's Day to free
a whale in SeaWorld, San Diego C.A that was taken from B.C. waters and kept
in captivity for 26 years. Paul Spong I think organized this - a whale
expert. On Mom's Day, a banner surrounded Sea World (5 km long). It was made
up of squares of cloth with signatures, sewed together. We sent a section. I
called there afterwards and they said they didn't get as many people out, but
they MADE SEA WORLD NERVOUS. DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S FREE YET.

Thanks for the info TWIG - it sounds like an exciting project.
TWIG at Notre Dame: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:56PM EST (-0500 GMT)
No problem, Emery.
Cawthra: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:51PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Emery, there should be groups around Lake Ontario to make it a public
priority to clean up Lake Ontario.
West Park: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:53PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Emery ... we are also located along Lake Ontario! Where are you along the
lake? We are near the Niagara river and at our beaches there is tons of
pollution from Niagara River. This could be why there isn't any salmon in
our lake anymore?

To everyone, are there any other tools that your schools need to help
sustain your environmental activism?
Bell High School 1: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:54PM EST (-0500 GMT)
TG Mag: well, I'm sure fish dissection kits and programs to involve other
schools would be cool. :) Does the book contain resources for practical
applications a school can involve itself in?
tgmag@tgmag.ca: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:55PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Yes, Bell. The Action Guide insert has tons of activities that can be done by a class, a group or individuals. Canadian youth created it to be relevant to Canadian situations.
TWIG at Notre Dame: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 1:58PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Anyone know of any projects / info about beluga whales? I read article in the
Toronto Star. What does everyone (anyone?) think about banning all pesticides?
Bell High School 2: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 2:01PM EST (-0500 GMT)
TWIG: hey there I know about the whales and animals that need help:)
TWIG at Notre Dame: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 2:06PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Hey, everyone's leaving it seems! We can stay longer (Please talk to us) We
want to know if there is any new info on Temagami, beluga whales, and any
possibility of group ventures or conferences. Thanks for the sewer info.

The day is still young in B.C.( its not even lunch yet). We have a group of
students going to S.E.Alaska this summer to camp in Frederick sound and do
photo identifications on Humpback whales. We are into whales, seals salmon
and lots of aquatic biology topics.
tgmag@tgmag.ca: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 2:30PM EST (-0500 GMT)
We have a resident dolphin fanatic here!!! She wants to know how to get
involved with specifically saving the dolphins!!!!
Bell High School 1: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 2:32PM EST (-0500 GMT)
You can get an address from a animal magazine and it will tell you ALL you
need to know, the info is in almost all fish mags and also in "Animal
lovers magazine".
tgmag@tgmag.ca: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 2:33PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Thank you Bell! Our fish aficionado is swimming with joy. Ha Ha couldn't
resist.
Bell High School 1: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 2:41PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Centennial: what kinds of things do you like to do?
Centennial salmon: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 2:42PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Bell High 1: I am into a 'west-coast' set of pursuits. The ocean, sailing,
Orcas. Gray whales, seals and just plain anything that is salty.
Bell High School 1: . . . . Wed, Jun 5, 2:44PM EST (-0500 GMT)
Centennial Salmon: it seems we have A LOT in common. This is neat!
