East Coast Crud Killing Dolphins at 7 Times the Usual Pace

The pig and chicken affluent that flows into Chesapeake bay and toxic to life-in-the-sea mammals along the mid-Atlantic can't be pleasant for dolphins that can't move to a better neighborhood. Noise from engines and chemical dumps from a myriad sources may contribute to immunity suppression and health of dolphins making them more susceptible to mortality from viruses, lung problems and challenges to life they might otherwise overcome. C.N.N. reported http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/20/us/dolphins-dying/ that dozens of dolphins have perished with many in the warmer August waters one would think, when bacteria thrives.

A major reformation of the Eastern economy to renewable ecospherically positive infrastructure with full employment should also create a better environment in the sea for wildlife.

A paradoxical discovery that copper may increase the chances for developing Alzheimer's can be taken as a metaphor for the effect of conventional economics on the environment and the poor. For it is the poor that handled all those copper pennies scrimping them up all those decades while the rich contacted only paper in large denominations. For a basic health justice the poor ought to handle the paper money and e-dollars for a while and the rich enjoy copper pennies.
