		<description><![CDATA[More than 20% of our Electricity in Washington comes from Coal.

Coal is our nation's dirtiest energy souce.  But few Washingtonians realize that the TransAlta coal plan in Centralia bruns roughly 4 million tons of coal each year.

TransAlta coal plant is the largest single source of pollution in Washington.

Toxic pollution from coal plants contributes to heart and ling disease, cancer, stroke and premature death.

The TransAlta coal plant is Washington's biggest polluter of toxic mercury.  Mercury pollutes the water we drink, the fish we eat, and is especially dangerous to children and womena who are pregnant or may become pregnant.

Dirty coal can be replaced with clean energy solutions that will reduce pollution and protect our health.]]></description>

    Largemouth Bass

Anglers frequent fishing spots along the Columbia River and Vancouver Lake, and have done so for many years. However, Toxic Monitoring Data from the Washington State Department of Ecology indicates that fish in Vancouver Lake are not safe to eat. This is particularly dangerous for low-income folks who fish in this area out of necessity.
