June 4.2002 <br />Dear Mayor and Council Members; <br />JUN 2 4 2002 <br />CIIYOFOflONO <br />Cl 1 r V.-*,• v» , <br />Did you know that every year more algae than is normal are infesting our lakes? Thanks <br />to the man*made products containing phosphorus, our takes are becoming bad for <br />swimming. My name is Taylorann and I am a seventh grader asking you to help raise <br />awareness about our growing algae-related phosphate problem. <br />Phosphates are very popular to use. They are used in fertilizer, soaps, and many different <br />cleaners. Most people are not aware of the harm they are doing to our lakes by using too <br />much phosphorus. Ves, phosphorus is a very useful element, but using too much of it can <br />harm our beautiful bodies of water. Even if we reduce the use of phosphates, trace <br />amounts end up in our lakes. <br />This is a problem that needs to be solved sooner than later. With your awareness we can <br />help others understand the problem. Making flyers or writing articles that states your <br />support for a solution would make a huge difference. 1 thank you for your time and <br />interest. <br />Sincerely. <br />mA'Vi-jt\.rr\ <br />Taylorann Grand
