Chemical Weapons Working Group Launches Clean Food Campaign

Chemical weapons incinerators emit hundreds of toxics - including heavy
metals, PCBs, and dioxins.  There are two existing chemical weapons
incinerators, in Utah and the Pacific, and incinerators have been
proposed in Arkansas, Alabama, and Oregon.  But several non-
incineration technologies exist which do not emit toxics into the
environment!  Incineration has already been abandoned as an option in
several locations and with continued pressure, alternative technologies
could be available to all chemical weapons sites in the near future.

To help protect our food from the dangers of chemical weapons
incineration, contact the agribusinesses listed below.  Tyson Foods
operates facilities near Pine Bluff, Arkansas and Anniston, Alabama. 
Gold Kist also operates a facility near Anniston.  In your letters or
phone calls: Ask the companies to support food-safe chemical weapons
disposal technologies instead of dangerous incinerators.  Let them know
that your family's health is important.  Remind them that safe
technologies would protect not only public health and the environment,
but their company's profits and reputation.  The length of a letter is
not important; one good paragraph can speak volumes.

Please direct your letters to the following companies, and encourage
others to do the same!
