Is the dairy industry putting manure
in your water? TAKE ACTION!
You wouldn't drink water out of the toilet,
but mega-dairies in New Mexico are contaminating
our drinking water sources with cow manure.
The New Mexico Water Commission is debating changing the rules so that dairies can't recklessly pollute our water. CLICK HERE to speak out and demand that they protect our drinking water!
