| Please sign our petition *below* asking government
to stop wood smoke contaminants.
If you are being denied the right to enjoy
your home and property, or if your health has been affected by a
neighbor's wood stove, outdoor wood boiler, furnace or fireplace, please
contact your public officials and the EPA for assistance.
No
one should have to exist behind locked doors due to the fear of
involuntary inhalation of toxic wood smoke. When we open the windows of
our home, it is our right to breathe the natural elements of healthy
air--not the carcinogenic elements contained in wood smoke.
Wood smoke aggravates asthma, COPD, and often causes respiratory
distress and other lung diseases. Involuntary inhalation of wood smoke
is extremely harmful to children, the elderly and those suffering
cardiovascular disease.
Plain and simple: No Smoke is Good Smoke! Lungs were meant to breathe
clean, fresh air, not smoke-filled toxic air, especially in our own
homes. We can avoid cigarette smoke, but we cannot avoid our neighbors'
wood smoke.
There are enough industry-related cancer causing pollutants in our air
today. We can help stop one; harmful, carcinogenic particulates caused
by residential wood smoke.
Wood smoke emits black carbon that contributes to global warming. It
affects humans, wildlife and our entire planet.
It's time to tell government "We've had enough. Clean air is our right.
Our right to breathe clean air must preside over any right of those who
want to burn wood."
Thank you for visiting our site. We hope you have signed our petition.
With your help we can all breathe easier in a cleaner environment!
