Sign petition against radioactive metal "recycling" into consumer products!

Maureen Headington of the Stand Up/Save Lives Campaign in Illinois has organized a petition sign-on campaign that has already garnered more than 86,000 signatures in opposition to the U.S. Department of Energy's latest proposal to "recycle" radioactive metals from the nuclear weapons complex into consumer products.

You can sign the petition here.

Maureen has pointed out that her petition has hit a nerve at Forbes, where a columnist felt the need to pooh pooh concerns about radioactive metal "recycling" (radioactive poisoning of the metal recycling stream) and dumping into ordinary municipal landfills, where it can then leak into groundwater and drinking water supplies. She urges folks to read the article, and post a comment at the Forbes site.
