Freshwater & Saltwater Turtles are being destroyed rapidly

With the US water supply being contaminated by so many different chemicals, pesticides, oil, mercury, as well as whatever the Government puts in our waters, how do you expect wildlife to thrive or even cope with this many poisons. This just might be a surprising fact to most. Everyone probably already realizes that homes built in Florida don't have basements. There is a simple reason for this: Florida is way to close to sea level in order to have basements. Florida has enough of a flooding problem without basements. Yet I do not live far from MacDill AFB which is on Tampa Bay that leads out into the Gulf of Mexico. So why is it that some of the buildings on MacDill AFB have not only one basement but several levels of basements? Yes, during even a couple inches of rain there is plenty of flooding in these basements and from what I've heard, there is radioactive materials or residue in these basements that contaminate the soil and the water. To me, that is a flagrant disregard to humankind as well as our environment. This is a good example of how much the US cares about our World environment and wildlife. Sad but true!
