On the flip side, you have corporate America. They have no conscience. The bottom-line is god. If it is cheaper to dump their waste in a stream, they will if there is no penalty and enforcement. If it is cheaper to send jobs overseas they will. If it is more profitable to stop making fish pellets, they will. Just my 2 cents


...and still do if the penalty is still cheaper than doing it the right way.
