Stop burning slash! I am asked to reduce my carbon footprint while untold thousands of tons of logging "waste" are being burned and converted into greenhouse gases!

The Ministry of Water, Land, and Air Protection isn't doing its job, period.

No back yard weiner roasts, no chiminasies burning on the patio,and heaven forbid we would think of actually lighting up the wood burning unit on a cold chilly night, but burning huge piles of slash goes unquestioned in this area.

How does this make any sense to any of us with a brain?

It's time our Northern Health Authority, all of those academics at UNBC who only want to study the air quality problem and our Provincial Ministry of Water, Land & Air Protection (Pollution)along with our Mayor and City Alderman sat down together and actually made some sound recommendations for a solution to this problem.

I would like to suggest that 80% of our poor air quality problem comes from 20% of our potential sources.

Let's see if we can narrow things down a little so we can focus 80% of our efforts in reducing the pollution from these sources. Chester
