Land use practices need to CHANGE NOW before too late

Submitted by anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 2011-01-31 07:49.

Living in a South Central Minnesota where alot of the problems are steming from, I see the environmental impact on the water. I also see how local authorites may not be doing their part when it comes to ensuring septics are in compliance and farmers are using the best land use practices. When approached on this matter the MPCA told me compliance MUST come from the localities not them. So neighbors must turn in neighbors rather then having authorities validate compliance. If you know who is in compliance you must know who is not. I feel funds that are used for the "war on drugs" that by the way will never be won could be better utilized on environmental issues rather than filling up privatized prisons with non-violent offenders that are more then likely very good people. All rural communities could have updated water systems, all farmers could use up to date land use practices that reduce environmental impact. When the WATER is polluted is affects us ALL. When someone uses drugs the affects are isolated. See my point???
