HELP STOP BLACKWATER DEVELOPMENT
Two articles in this morning’s paper really got my attention; one, the half-page ad asking for signatures to petition the government to STOP the Blackwater development. The picture at the top taken by Heather Lane, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, tells the story. “Disappearing Wetlands”.
This 1,000-acre development should be our worst nightmare because it doesn’t just affect the economy of Cambridge; it affects every stream, tributary and river running through that development. The Choptank is practically dead already. This could finish it off! Where do all these waters finally go…..to our Chesapeake Bay.
I have been showing you aerial photos for the past several weeks of how over development can destroy our wetlands. Once this is gone you can never get it back.
What was the other thing that got my attention? Mary Sue Sweeny Price was speaking about stolen artifacts, she said, ‘ Greed always seems to trump idealism”
Please go to Chesapeake Bay Foundation ----cbf.org read what they have to say and sign the petition. Don’t let greed triumph!
