The Issue

Large quantities of raw sewage and other toxic waste is being dumped straight into the beautiful bay of Rio de Janeiro. Even right at the foot of Mt Sugar Loaf, one of the most beautiful places on earth! 
This is affecting use of the bay and access to the ocean. Many sport, sailing, rowing clubs use the bay and are a big part of local communities. There use to be many dolphins and marine life in the bay but they have long disappeared. 
Shutting down just one of these sewage outlets is vital to build momentum. Gathering international attention now with the lead up to the Olympics is key to put pressure on local authorities to clean up the bay. Please help not only local communities but all of us that care for nature and leaving it for future generations.
