JEA has the highest rates of mercury emissions in all of Florida, according to Florida PIRG. Mercury is a dangerous neurotoxin, especially for pregant women and children. It's one of the reasons why you can't eat the fish you catch locally. JEA is city-owned, so everyone in Jacksonville is a shareholder. Tell the mayor and city council that you support the Mercury Falling initiative - that JEA lower its mercury emissions by the same amount it raises rates.
