> ANONYMOUS [?] NOTES: The small metal spring is a stark reminder of the larger, creeping threat: toxic heavy metals entering the environment. This industrial waste creates a slow-drip poison leak into the soil and water surrounding Mushroom Valley. The locals are starting to notice it, with the metals, similar to those found in contaminated fish or water sources, already threatening the health of their friends and making the soil sick. Since the damage is too vast to stop completely, the only clear path forward is to push for industrial reform while focusing our immediate efforts on what we can save-- ourselves and our community from the same inevitable fate.
