<p style="font-size:17px;line-height:130%">Beth:</p>
<p style="font-size:17px;line-height:130%">We all know the oil
industry is polluting our climate. But did you know you could be
eating food grown with contaminated oil wastewater?</p>
<p style="font-size:17px;line-height:130%;font-weight:bold">Oil
companies in California have been selling their wastewater to local
irrigation districts where farmers get the water to grow food sold all
over the United States!</p>
<p style="font-size:17px;line-height:130%">California Governor
Jerry Brown has refused to stop oil-water irrigation, saying that
people like us opposed to fracking “don’t know what the hell they’re
talking about.”</p>

food should be grown with clean and safe water — demand that Gov.
Jerry Brown BAN the use of oil wastewater to irrigate our food!

<p style="font-size:17px;line-height:130%">As I drive through
California up from Los Angeles to the capitol building in Sacramento,
I see how food and oil production are so shockingly intertwined here:
oil pump jacks are bobbing in the same fields as rows of food
crops.</p>
<p style="font-size:17px;line-height:130%"><b>In addition to
producing a majority of the fruits, vegetables and nuts that are sold
all over the United States, California is the third largest
oil-producing state in the country. </b>California’s
easy-to-reach oil is long since gone, so oil companies are now
fracking with water, hundreds of thousands of gallons of water for
each frack job.</p>
<p style="font-size:17px;line-height:130%">Every single barrel of
oil, whether fracked or conventionally extracted, results in
significant amounts of contaminated wastewater, and to get rid of it,
oil companies have been selling it to local irrigation districts for
cheap. This wastewater, which may contain toxic chemicals used in
fossil fuel extraction, then ends up in the water used to irrigate
crops.</p>
<p style="font-size:17px;line-height:130%"><b>Popular food
companies that sell products all over the country use this tainted
water on their crops, including The Wonderful Company,</b> known
for brands such as Halos, POM Wonderful juice, and Wonderful
Pistachios.</p>
<p style="font-size:17px;line-height:130%">If we all pledge to
stop buying <i>any</i> product from Wonderful, <b>we can use
our collective consumer power and pressure this company to call for an
end to this dangerous practice <i>once and for all</i>.</b></p>
<p style="font-size:17px;line-height:130%">We are collaborating
with Daily Kos and some of the nation’s best health and food-safety
advocacy groups in the nation on this effort, including Breast Cancer
Action, Food & Water Watch and the Organic Consumers
Association.</p>
