What are your concerns about the environment?
  • I’m concerned about buried waste in Breslau
  • Well water and streams are polluted with field run off
  • I don’t like that a lot of people in our area spray with pesticides. I worry about my children’s health.
  • We live near Uniroyal and had to put up with terrible smells last year. What are the health risks to my family?
  • Woolwich should do more to protect forests and wetlands.
  • I’m concerned about long-term water safety (drinking).
  • I find the lawn-spraying in Elmira disgusting. Air is heavy with pesticides in spring.
  • Many farms have back yard dumps that pollute the soil and water.
  • Too many 18 wheelers (Diesel vehicles).
  • I’m concerned about septic tanks in subdivisions.
  • Our watershed is threatened by toxics and run-off.
