Elk Grove Should Ban Outdoor Pits
Because we are supporters of the Breathe Healthy Air Coalition, my wife and I attended the Elk Grove Village Board meeting on October 9. Three passionate, informative testimonies were given to respectfully ask the board of trustees to seriously consider reinstating the ban on outdoor fireplaces and fire pits.
Wood smoke emissions are harmful to the air we all need to breathe and even more harmful to our health and quality of life. No one should have to leave their back yard and close the windows in their home (which does not help!) to try to avoid the wood smoke emissions drifting through the neighborhood and involuntarily into our lungs.
All towns-including Arlington Heights-should ban all outdoor fire places and fire pits.
