"In the Gulf of St.Lawrence, a dead beluga whale, now classified as a toxic waste, has to be handled with gloves and protective clothing because of the amount of toxins its body contains. The number of tumors found in St.Lawrence belugas is 'unheard of in any marine mammal on the planet'. On the ocean floor, crabs with nervous systems deranged by chlordane runoff attempt to mate with alluring rocks."
-Paul Hawken The Ecology of Commerce
