To the editor:
Where is our protection? I can't help but wonder who our elected officials are really working for. It sure doesn't seem to be for the ordinary person. My circle of friends and neighbours are very health conscious, they work hard at keeping fit, they eat right and get out into nature whenever possible. But it seems harder and harder to do.
There is a big black cloud hanging over our cities. Our politicians are not standing up for our health. They are not protecting us from the severe health hazards from wood smoke pollution or the harm that smart meters pose. Politicians, health officials and other government officials seem to stick their heads in the sand and ignore the desperate pleas from the people who elected them. Again, where is our protection?
A lot of governments have adopted the new "green movement." Never have I seen so much concern, so much anger and so little respect for our elected officials. Plain and simple they aren't protecting us. They aren't protecting our health or the air we breathe. Maybe following the money trail is the real "green" movement.
