Acid Rain PSAs
The
Adirondack Park
is suffering the worst damage in the nation from acid rain. And
because nearly all of the utility plant pollution that causes
acid rain in the Adirondacks comes from outside the state, New
Yorkers alone can do little to prevent the onslaught.

Natalie Merchant
Lends Her Voice to Urge Congress
To Stop Acid Rain
| As you know, acid rain is still poisoning
lakes, forests, fish, birds and other wildlife throughout the
Eastern United States. The Adirondack Park -- the largest park
in the Continental US -- is suffering the worst damage of any
area of the country. As a native New Yorker, award-winning singer-songwriter
Natalie Merchant wants us all to do something about it. Natalie
has completed two Public Service Annoucements (PSAs) for the
Adirondack Council to spread the word about acid rain. |

The message Natalie and the Adirondack Council want people to
hear - Congress can solve the acid rain problem by placing new
controls on Midwest electric power plants. That would allow the
700 critically acidified lakes and ponds in the Adirondack Park
to recover.The first of the two 30-second PSAs asks people to
call the Adirondack Council for more information. The second
asks them to contact Congress directly and demand a solution.
