Did You Hear the One About Mercury Pollution?
Activists are hoping a big green and white billboard and a little dose of humor will drive home their point about mercury pollution in Nevada. Dan Randolph with Great Basin Mine Watch says the billboard uses a little joke about a side effect of mercury pollution to call attention to one of the state's biggest health hazards.

"Most people when they think of mercury pollution, think of coal fired power plants, but here in Nevada the mines are a much bigger source. They formed the top mercury hot spot in the US."
The joke and the rest of the article can be read here.

Humor is so therapeutic since we are always so serious about this mercury problem.
Oceana just did a humorous action - in advance of the Oscars we presented MOMMIE awards to mercury spewing chlor-alkali plants. We even had life-sized gold MOMMIE trophies, and parodied award and movie titles to go with them.
You can check out the awards and a fun video we're putting togetherhere.
