Austin Taylor, of Gibsonburg, is working on his Eagle Scout project with the UT Lake Erie Center and fellow boy scouts leading the effort to let the public know the danger of lead sinkers.
“We all know the dangers of lead to humans, but did you know it has an effect on wildlife and our water supply?,” Taylor’s e-mail to The Press states. “My project is to inform others about the dangers of lead sinkers, as they kill more than 1.5 million waterfowl per year in North America. There are many alternatives to lead such as tungsten, steel bismuth, alloy, and tin sinkers.”
