I never would have guessed that these guys create a ton of pollution. I know they use a bunch of water to cut the granite and put an edge on it, and that the floor in the shop is extremely slippery because of the cut material/silt laying on the floor. I guess this stuff gets into the storm water drainoff and causes some serious problems. Just never thought about it that way.

Never really thought that farmers caused a lot of pollution with fertilizer runoff, but I learned that one in college. The fertilizer is terrible for the environment because it causes algae to grow in the water which blocks sunlight to the plants at the bottom. No plants, no environment for the baby fish and crabs to hide in. Hence, no fish. Also less waterfowl because the ducks eat the vegetation which is now nonexistant or they eat the small fish that would be hiding in the vegetation which are both now nonexistant.
