HUGE MERCURY VICTORY: PIONEER GOES HG-FREE
In a move which will reduce Louisiana's mercury emissions by about 20%, Pioneer announced yesterday that they will switch their St. Gabriel chlorine plant to the industry standard, mercury-free process by 2008. This decision comes after a long-fought campaign by GRN, Oceana and other conservation groups urging the switch, and after a recent GRN action alert which generated close to 2,000 e-mails to Pioneer. Thanks to everyone who clicked for a mercury-free Gulf.
