The toxins would drift to our lungs
Permalink +Thu, Jan 22, 2004, 7:42 pm // John Servais
The future of our war in Iraq is analyzed and predictions are made in a new post on the website World In Conflict, a sub-site of NwCitizen. Credit for the articles there belongs to a local academic who prefers to remain anonymous.The citizens in the small town of Crofton on Vancouver Island are trying to stop their local pulp and paper mill from getting permits to burn "alternative fuels", that is, tires, creosote railroad ties, etc. Toxic stuff. Crofton is only 60 miles upwind of Bellingham and only 30 miles from some parts of Whatcom County. The toxins would drift to our lungs. They have put up a website to educate themselves and those of us who will also be impacted by this permit. I have added their link to the Community section in the right side column. My thanks to LM for this link.
