Two-stroke engines discharge 1/4 of its required gas/fuel mixture, unburned, directly into the water. This accumulates into an annual amount of discharged petrochemicals roughly 10 times greater than that of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Perhaps it might be time to get back into the rowboat?
I think this is a wondeful idea but for some reason why is it that we do not try to respect this wonderful resource that is Lake Erie. I can't believe we still need to worry that every time WNY get's an inch or more of rain on any gven day we then have to worry about septic runoff in the Southern Tier which always ends up closing the beaches because of E. Coli contamination and also the waste sewers overflow and empty into the storm sewers in Buffalo and out into the lake as well. If we really want to market ths beautiful and valueable resource and everything it affords us then why can't our local politicans mobilize and try to resolve these environmental issues?
all the more reason to get buffalo and erie counties sewer system updated. Overflow can not be good for the fish.
either can the dead zone....
