---"Benefits of A Permanent Burn Ban"—
A burn ban could assure that when smoke is noticed, it gets quick attention and is stopped, not regulated. When burn bans are in place firemen admit the response time is quicker, saving lives and property. A fireman in Macon, Ga. suffered an accidental death while responding to a neighborhood trash burn that got out of hand.
Regulations have not worked to clear the air. They have allowed a smoke screen for polluters to quickly burn the evidence of toxic materials right under our noses.
I believe most everyone will support an alternative to burning trash in our neighborhoods. The benefits are obvious: greater health, longer life, and more mulch for our gardens.
There is so much pollution from so many sources the least we should expect from our leaders is a permanent burn ban to protect our homes from toxic smoke invasion
