CHEMICAL WASTES They Ruin the Earth and Poison Our Water! - Jeff Calkins - January 1982

Jeff Calkins

Too few realize the tragedies just ahead if chemical wastes continue to be dumped into the earth. Even fewer realize the spiritual dimensions of the problem. Most of us do not live close to chemical waste dumps. But those wastes can poison us anyway. We still drink water. Half the American population takes its water supply from the ground. Yet groundwater is extremely vulnerable to pollution. Chemical wastes that seep into ground water supplies can pollute it for decades. Groundwater is far harder to cleanse than surface water. Once contaminated, it is not exposed to such factors as sunlight and motion, which clean surface water. Yet many chemical waste dumps 'are near, or even on top of, underground water supplies. Certainly chemical waste represents a terrible health hazard today. And it also represents something profound about the spiritual state of the world today. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
