This may be old to some, but ever heard of the "environmentally friendly" BP? Well they plan to quadruple their mercury dumping into Lake Michigan, which supplies the majority of America with drinking water.

I heard about this. The city passed some ordinance on ow much mercury can be dumped, and BP doesnt like it.

Southeastern Lake Michigan is the dirtiest fresh water in the world...

But fortunately it's not dirty enough that they can't use it for my drinking water! Go Milwaukee!

Lake Michigan, which supplies the majority of America with drinking water.

Just out of curiosity, are you sure about this? I know it's a bloody big lake, but there must be some pretty bloody long water pipes involved to supply the majority of Americans.

Hmm. Your source is ambiguously worded. I checked here, and it says

The Great Lakes...hold an estimated 6 quadrillion gallons of water, about one-fifth of the world's fresh surface water supply and nine-tenths of the U.S. supply.

I think that means it holds the equivalent of 90% of the US supply, not that it actually supplies 90% of the US. I seriously doubt people in Los Angeles drink water from the Great Lakes...

Not that any of this matters, it's just that when I first read what you said, it took me aback a bit - don't you ever get localised droughts in the USA??!

I know the SF bay gets ours from some lake near Yosemite. I think LA gets it from the Colorado River.

I'm scared for life. I'll never think about the Great LAkes in a non-perverted way now.

Heard about this, already signed it, I think. Kinda gives you the idea that maybe the fact that BP hasn't dumped billions of gallons of oil in the Arctic doesn't make them environmentally friendly. Oh, and the Great Lakes system contains 90% of American freshwater, but it doesn't really supply that much. Seeing as how rank the water is in much of it (have you smelled Lake Erie lately? I mean really gotten your nose down there? Wow) that's really a good thing.
