Robert Kennedy Jr. you idiot, You are suing the wrong person, sue Gaia. Mercury comes naturally from the soil. I wet years, mercury levels increase in run off due to erosion. Not a thing anyone can do about it.
Well, there is a little that can be done. Stop measuring such minute amounts and trying to scare people with what has always occurred naturally.

I believe that was Michael Kennedy, his brother.

Michael Kennedy was playing catch by throwing a hot water bottle to another person on a ski slope in Colorado. He wouldn’t stop, not even after he was warned by the ski patrol not to do this.

Shortly thereafter, Michael Kennedy hit a tree and he died from his injuries.

This twit, one of Robert and Ethel's 11 brats, who didn't give a rat's patootie about the environment until he was caught with heroin and sentenced to community service.

(From Wikipedia) In 1983, he was arrested in a Rapid City South Dakota Airport for heroin possession. A search of his carry-on bag uncovered 183 milligrams of the drug.[3] Upon entering a plea of guilty, Kennedy, then 30 years old, was sentenced to two years probation, periodic tests for drug use, treatment by joining Narcotics Anonymous, and 1,500 hours of community service by Presiding Judge Marshall P. Young.[4]

In 1984, Kennedy joined the Riverkeeper organization to satisfy the 1,500 hours community service to which he was sentenced. He worked with the group to sue alleged polluters of the Hudson River. After his 1,500 hours were complete, the group hired Kennedy as its chief prosecuting attorney.[9]

Kennedy is also a player in the Klamath River debacle. He favors removal of the hydroelectric dams and has launched a series of suits with the Riverkeeper based on algae, native American diets and water quality. A real piece of work. He should stay on the Hudson instead of sticking his nose into Western issues.

Darn, you beat me to it!

The stooopid new “dark bulbs”, that give much less light than they are supposed to, are the latest item that the environuts have given us which HARM the environment as much as they help.

Fools.
