This petition is to recommend that the pharmaceutical industry Merck minimize their disposal of waste. In 2010, 80% of male Bass in the Potomac River had eggs in them because of pharmaceutical pollution. That amount is almost double of what it was in 2004.

Seeing the momentum grow is draining but necessary work while the river remains in this state. It is difficult to keep fighting when the problem is so vast, yet your presence here tells me I am not alone.

80% is a crazy number. absolute negligence.
This is honestly sickening. We need to be protecting our rivers not turning them into a chemical dump. Do better Merck.
Clean up your mess. I am so tired of these huge companies thinking they can pollute our local environment without any consequences.
RIDICULOUS! Fix the filtration systems and stop poisoning the ecosystem.
the fish are literally changing sex?? how is this even legal?? stop dumping this stuff in the water now

My kids swim in that water. Absolutely terrifying to think what is floating around in there because of big pharma.
