1. Ah yes, Kodak...

I lived in Rochester, NY for some time... lead in the water... who knows what in the air... and Kodak sold this black 'slag' stuff to use on the roads (manf. by-product), much like sand is used in some areas...

Always wondered what was in that slag... With all the snow, the snowplows would shoot it up in the air, into your yard... it looked like black glass.

3. An interesting comparison would be

a chart of corporations who pollute and what their :tax cut: or other "favors" were provided by Bu$shco
Anyone have any data on that?

4. Not included is the Pentagon which emits

more than the top five combined

5. My favorite polluter is W.R. Grace

Senator Paul Wellstone and Mozambique's President Samora Machel
