Dear Elected Officials and Government Institutions and Agencies:
We have the right to enjoy our homes and properties without the toxic emissions from wood burning fireplaces and wood stoves invading our lives and those of our children.
It is the purpose of this petition to collect signatures to support a nuisance smoke bylaw in residential areas.
*If you are unwilling to give your name, sign it as anonymous, but give your town and comments*
We, the undersigned, call on you to create or amend a bylaw to cover smoke emissions in RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
No resident should ever have to worry about this type of thing happening to them.
For residents to be put in danger by toxic smoke emissions is not acceptable.
We want to feel free to open our windows for fresh air and to enjoy our property free of the foul stench of wood smoke.
The health and environmental risks of wood burning are well documented in hundreds of studies. We feel justified in holding elected officials responsible and accountable for damages to our families and ourselves. We state unequivocally that we do not consent to this exposure, and that we are unwilling to accept the health risks that exposure to wood smoke presents to our lungs and bodies.
We ask that regulations and legislation be immediately created to cover wood burning stoves and fireplaces in RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
WE DEMAND AN END TO THIS WOOD BURNING SMOKE POLLUTION!
