Sierra Club brought their Water Quantity awareness paper to Stevens Point last Wednesday. Not directly related to CAFOs and their contamination, but more so related to the enormous water draws that many of these (animal or vegetable) Factories take out of our groundwater.

There will be about 4 or 5 of these video shorts from that presentation… this first one is the opening remarks from Portage County Executive Patty Dreier, and Bill Davis, Exec. Dir. of John Muir Chapter.
