***ACTION ALERT***ACTION ALERT***ACTION ALERT***

Tour DuPont Bike Race Begins Saturday, May 7th.
Earth First! and Ozone Action Demonstrate at Race Start!

This Saturday, May 7th at 12:00 noon in Fredericksburgh,
Virginia, the Tour DuPont Bicycle Race will begin, and Earth
First! will be there to let the world know what DuPont is doing
to our Earth's ozone layer!

DuPont is the world's largest producer of ozone-destroying
chemicals, including CFC's. HFCF's, and HFC's.  Depletion of
the ozone layer means a global threat due to increased levels
of ultraviolet radiation at the Earth's surface, causing skin
cancers, weakening of the immune system, and other health
problems.  Scientists have measured an 18% loss of stratospheric
ozone over the US and Europe, and as much as 65% loss over some
parts of the Southern Hemisphere (NASA/NOAA, Oct 16th 1993).

Dupont needs to feel the heat for their role in this global
destruction!  The Seagram Corporation, maker of many alcoholic
beverages as well as Tropicana Orange Juice, is the largest
shareholder of DuPont, owning 24.4% of their stock.  Write Edgar
Bronfman, Presdident and CEO, The Seagram Beverage Co.,
Tropicana Products, PO Box 338, Bradenton, FL, 34206

Call Dupont at 1-800/441-7515 and let them know how you feel!

And most imoprtantly, get you and all your friends down to
Fredericksburgh, VA on Saturday May 7th at noon for this action!
Apparently Fredericksburgh is a small town and this is a big
event so it shouldn't be hard to find.  But if you have more
questions call Ozone Action at 704/254-3811.
