I was going to say--maybe some creative non-violent action. A squad of shell enthusiasts, divers, researchers, and other concerned citizens doing civil disobedience in front of the offending plant and the eye-averted politicians' offices. Perhaps a congratulatory delivery of a truckload of contaminated effluent to the doorstep of one of the prime culprits. Of course, it takes some careful preparatory work, such as arranging to have TV cameras and other press outlets notified ahead of time and briefed on the issue; such as developing catchy slogans, witty street theater with costumes; such as enlisting the aid of a celebrity (maybe).

And we've got our secret olfactory weapon: eau de dead snail livers. That'll do it every time. Don't want to allow proliferation of those, do we?
