Sometimes we spend a lot of time and money trying to solve 1 percent of the
problem, when we should be better served solving the 99 percent. Then the extra
1 percent would come along, as a matter of course.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

“generating source” for these hormone-disrupting chemicals found in rivers and
streams is PEOPLE as part of the never-ending waste stream from homes,
businesses, restaurants, hospitals, research labs, veterinary clinics, funeral
homes, nursing homes, and industry which takes a brief stop at the local
wastewater treatment plant before these <u>unregulated and untested and
unremoved</u> hormone disrupting chemicals are discharged as effluent into
surface waters and onto farmlands via sewage sludge (aka, biosolids) where the
chemicals are found to concentrate. The problem may not just be affecting
