Lakeside on Pie Day




Here we are on Pie (3.14) Day having coffee at Washington Hotel Coffee shop..attached to Lakeside Fibers. My favorite coffee shop with a view ( Lake Mendota) plus they serve local foods and Kickapoo coffee!!

One of the things we talked about was atrazine. According to the Pesticide Action Network a coalition of 16 Midwestern cities in six states (I wish WI was one of them) filed a lawsuit to require Syngenta to pay for clean-up costs to filter atrazine out of municipal water supplies. "The most recent research on Atrazine was published last week by the National Academy of Sciences and showed that male frogs exposed to "safe" levels of atrazine became females able to mate and lay eggs." Syngenta maintains that there is no reason to remove the chemical from drinking water. I've already signed a petition to Lisa Jackson at the EPA. For more information or to sign the petition go here
