Summary of Anne La Bastille
Anne La Bastille, a woman of many talents, informs us of her experience with acid rain and how it is harming our planet. It’s not only in the United States, where she lives along Black Bear Lake, but all over the world. In the article, Death From the Sky, in Reading the Environment, Labastille was “puzzled over the changes” to the lake she had lived on for years.
La Bastille started to notice changes to the lake beginning with fewer and fewer fisherman each year. She writes the “the trout were disappearing”. At first she was only shocked by the changes, but then during each rainstorm she started to collect samples. A normal pH reading is 7, “a normal rain and snow is pH 5.7”, but her, “readings were way low.”
