The Clean Water Act in the USA, is turning water pollution into soil pollution at a huge cost.
A new policy is urgently needed, even though implementation will take a long time!

This is on the same level of danger as Global Warming

Under a policy of recycling sewage sludge (dubbed "biosolids" by the waste industry) as fertilizer, many of the world's commercial "waste treatment" conglomerates and some colluding government agencies, have targeted farmland as waste disposal sites. If this policy is permitted to continue, massive, and possibly catastrophic changes to food production and the food-chain are bound to take place. The adverse health effects of "agro-sludging" are cumulative and delayed. But by the time they show serious effects, they have become irreversible. This toxification program is, unbeknownst to the general public, already underway and is proceeding virtually unmonitored. The US EPA Inspector General testified to Congress, that the agency has virtually no resources to assure that the general public is safe from this practice -- the resources to monitor such a program are virtually non-existant.
