>Re: Continued Environmental Contamination
>
>Over twenty years ago an unbiased and effective compilation of the facts
>surrounding the application of arsenic-ladden insecticides and pesticides
>was published under the title: "Silent Spring" (by Rachel Carson, New
>York: Fawcett Crest, 1962, 304p.).
>
>Subsequent to the aforementioned publication, a multitude of articles
>condemning the use of arsenic have also come to the attention of the
>electorate (see attached).
>
>As the threat of arsenic continues to be assigned the label of
>"non-threshold toxin" by independent authorities in the health fields,
>when will this government begin to clean up the mess (and its act)
>resulting from the production of CCA wood?
>
>As there are alternative treatments currently available which are not
>toxic, how much longer must we the taxpayer pay for the desecration of our
>environment, our land and our homes from the proliferation of these
>neurotoxins and carcinogens?
>
>When will our elected officials follow the promised mandates of their
>electoral platforms and ensure a better environment for its electorate and
>our children?
>
>How much longer must we tolerate the profit-taking of the CCA wood
>industry at the expense of our health and environment?
>
>What part of the inevitable tax-payers' burdens in cleaning up this mess,
>are the politician's willing to share (i.e., as a direct burden upon their
>pensions and other benefits)?
>
>Thank you very much for your consideration of the details in this
>application.

>Yours truly,
