The Cedar Prairie Group-Sierra Club and SingleSpeed are inviting Sierra Club members and the public to a presentation by Larry Stone, Bob Watson and Dick Janson. They will present chapter 1 of their book: “Unintended Health and Environmental Consequences of CAFO Agriculture.”
The intent is to give us an understanding of what hog confinements are, why they produce the human health problems they do, what those health problems are. It also explains why we have had a difficult time getting protection from hog confinement pollutants and toxins.
The PowerPoint explains hog confinement technology, what that technology is, how that technology affects the hog’s waste as it breaks down in an anaerobic environment, and explains the human health-harming constituent parts that waste produces as it breaks down in the sewer environment. The constituent parts of manure which harm human health are vented out into the surrounding neighborhood and the larger environment.
