Hi, I’m Alexis Vo and I’m writing to you about an issue I am currently concerned about: damaging and polluting our surface waters. Recently in Texas, our state’s natural waters have been polluted which damaged our wildlife with toxins and trash. Due to the pollution, 9,400 miles of our streams and a total of 1,412,000 acres of lakes and bays in Texas alone has been considered “impaired”.
Surprisingly, Caddo Lake is the only natural body of water left in East Texas that has not been yet polluted nor damaged. I’m very concerned that if it is soon affected then it can mostly impact one of our main sources: oil. Everyone can be affected without the liquid fuels we get from oil, in other means, lack of transportation, usage for farming, and producing
