    Go Green!

     What is green?  We believe that this means to do
    the right thing.  There are many consequences of
    the way we do things.  Unfortunately, the public is
    not always aware of what some of these
    consequences are.

    For example, what are the consequences of
    having coal fired electric plants nearby?  For most
    of us, it means that when we flip a switch, the
    lights come on.  At the end of the month, we get a
    bill so that we can pay for this luxury. . . but what is
    the cost of this luxury?

    According to the Kansas Department of Health and Human Services, in 2007 there were
    over 2,700 pounds of mercury emitted from point sources (e.g. coal fired power plants) in
    Kansas. This is the equivalent to the amount of mercury in 1,200,000 thermometers.  Mercury
    emissions will continue to rise, with more and more electricity produced from coal.  

    These are the locations of the coal fired power plants around the area:

    Sulfur is another pollutant that is released during the burning of coal.  In Kansas, over
    126,000 tons of sulfur was emitted in 2007.  Sulfur is one of the key components in the
    formation of acid rain.  In an agricultural area, is it good to have pollution that directly impacts
    so many of our neighbors?

    These are just some of the impacts of the current way we do things.  It is important that we do
    something to offset the way we are doing things now.
