Hi Mike,

All you have to do is to click on the send or submit button at the bottom
of the form. Your name will be added to the list of folks who oppose the
acceptance of Canada's trash. The way I see it is they have millions of
acres up there, they can take care of their own garbage. Why should we
continue to allow then to trash our state.

>> Dear Ken,

>> As someone who I know cares deeply about Michigan's environment, I
>> wanted to keep you updated on my efforts to stop the flood of Canadian
>> trash coming into Michigan.
>>
>> In January, Toronto decided to stop taking responsibility for its
>> garbage, and now sends all of its trash - over 1.1 million tons each
>> year - to landfills in Michigan. More than 160 trash trucks from
>> Canada pass through our borders at the Blue Water Bridge and the
>> Ambassador Bridge every day. Now, Toronto is considering a proposal
>> to ship 55,000 tons of human sewage waste into Michigan.
>>
>> Besides the obvious environmental concerns, these trucks pose a
>> serious
>> homeland security threat. By their very nature, trucks filled with
>> garbage are difficult to carefully inspect. The Canadian waste also
>> hampers the effectiveness of Michigan's state and local recycling
>> efforts, since Ontario does not have a bottle law requiring recycling.
>> Earlier this year, a Canadian garbage truck driver was arrested for
>> smuggling illegal drugs across the border in his truck. Additionally,
>> Canadian trash trucks carrying radioactive materials have been turned
>> back at the U.S. border no
>> fewer than five times.
>>
>> The U.S. Government can stop the flow of Canadian trash right NOW, by
>> enforcing an existing treaty with Canada that requires the Canadian
>> government to seek approval from the Environmental Protection Agency
>> (EPA) before any shipments can be sent across the border.
>>
>> I urge you to join me and call on the EPA Administrator to immediately
>> enforce this treaty and stop the flood of Canadian trash right now. I
>> have set up an online petition on my website
>>

>> http://stabenow.senate.gov/stoptrash
>>
>> Please take a moment to sign up
>> and ask the administration to stop Toronto from dumping its trash on
>> Michigan.
>>
>>
>> Sincerely,
>> Debbie Stabenow
>> United States Senator
