Excrementos de bovinos na nossa Água



Water contaminated by cow manure can transmit disease-causing bacteria and parasites, as well as causing fish kills and toxic algae blooms (ex: Lagoa das Furnas.)
Without clean water protections, human health risks are substantial and the untreated cow manure will leach into surrounding waters. Let´s spread the word and demand better inspection to dairy farms, especially big ones!
Help stop our water pollution and better our environment and health!

                                             It´s happening! Let´s DO something about it!

                                                         Sete Cidades 20 - 04 - 2013

A criação de gado é uma das mais importantes fontes de poluição do meio ambiente. Ela consome grandes quantidades de recursos, gerando resíduos e gases que contaminam o solo, a água e o ar.

  No meio ambiente, estes excrementos nitrificam o solo e a água, superalimentam com matéria orgânica (eutrofisam) os corpos de água e colocam em risco a saúde pública, estando associados à disseminação de coliformes fecais, proliferação de insetos e problemas de saúde como alergias, hepatite, canceres e outras doenças.    

          Todos os dias, cada vaca produz cerca de 40 kg de esterco seco.  

             As nossas ilhas não suportam, o nosso mar também não, e nós muito menos.
