Happy Earth Day!
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation sent out messages urging people to watch PBS' Frontline special: Poisoned Waters (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/poisonedwaters/). The PBS special covers a lot of information about America's waterways including numerous interviews with farmers, fishermen, scientists, Perdue owner and politicians. My husband caught all the political slants, but the episode still left him thinking deeply about our impact on the environment.
How do you think a special called Poisoned Waters relates to gardening and the benefits of gardening? How can gardening using sustainable practices help reduce our impact on the water cycle?

Thank you for the link. I'd like to comment on something different than your question. I'd like to comment on the idea of "all the political slants." I realize that you don't explain the term, but I'd like to comment that there is a difference between politically-based postering and science-based reality. If we have poisoned water, then WE HAVE POISONED WATER. How can poisoned water possibly be associated with politics? It is clearly a matter of data, not politics. This politicizing of data was Rachel Carlson's battle. She fought it well and we're still having to fight nearly the same battles over and over again. I wish people would wake up and "smell the data."
