Chilliwack Resident Angry at Province’s Incinerator Approval

Share

Read this letter to the editor from local resident Taryn Dixon in the Chilliwack Times, expressing her concerns over the Province’s recent approval of Metro Vancouver’s waste plan, which opens the door to incineration.

“It’s easy to see how polluted the air in the Fraser Valley already is,
all you have to do is look at the mountains on a sunny day. Some days
you can’t even see them. We all need and should have a right to breathe
clean air, and I don’t believe we can afford to add a new source of
pollutants into our fragile airshed. I don’t want to be breathing any of
Metro’s garbage.” (Aug 18, 2011)
