pollution

[tree_hugger]

when i went surfing the other day there was a load of scum on the surface and rubbish on the beach. i know down here in cornwall there has been a lot of controvisy about dead dolphins. it really annoys me seeing what man has done to the enviroment. any other bad pollution stories.

I once went surfing in Llangennith (Gower, Wales) and there was a brown foam on the water.

I had a nasty gastric infection for 3 weeks and couldn't eat anything. I lost 2 1/2 stone in those 3 weeks.

There were a couple of cases in Swansea of an unknown allergic reaction to some pollution that left some surfers paralised from the neck down for a couple of weeks!!

I agree that man is systematically destroying everything. If you take a look at the SAS (Surfers Against Sewage) site it states that 300,000,000 tonnes of raw or partially treated sewage are pumped into the sea around the british isles EVERY DAY!!

That's disgusting!

Many encounters of nastyness in my time...

Its not the visable stuff you want to be worrying about!

I'm doing my dissertation on how water poolution (via sewage specifically) affects the surfing community and their surfing habits.. see my post if your interested in helping... --> http://www.surfing-waves.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=481
