Air Is Precious
You may love your Woodburning fireplace, but you are polluting your entire neighbourhood!!. The emissions from your Woodburning appliance and everyone who burns wood are destroying health, taking away from the quality of life of everyone and gravely harming our environment!!
One does not need to have respiratory illness or any frailities as you suggest. If you become properly informed about the dangers of Woodsmoke you will find out that Woodsmoke harms everyone..EVEN THE HEALTHY!!!
See: Clean Air Revival http://burningissues.org/
Yes we do live in urban areas, which means we do not wish to be smoked out of our homes and we do not want to be assaulted by Woodsmoke Pollution from anyone. We all deserve the right and common decency to breathe healthy air---Woodsmoke-free.
You are also incorrect, it is not as simple as that. Again, become informed and you will find out that millions DIE world-wide from Woodsmoke Pollution. Burning Wood is an archaic practice that belongs in the history books. We are an advanced society with advanced methods of heating our homes. You do not need to hunt with club today. We can grow our own food and we do have wonderful markets that can supply us with fresh local grown produce. As for clothing....you do not need to kill an animal to dress yourself. Much like Woodsmoke those days are long gone for our urban society. Where have you been?
Millions are ill, suffering and dying from Woodsmoke Pollution. Millions face cancer diagnosis each day. Children struggle with Asthma trying to breathe. Where is your compassion for others?
Why should others leave the city. They burn in rural areas!!
Your Woodburning is making entire communties ill. Woodburning is a deadly silent killer that will take away the quality of your life, your health and harm our environment.The time to BAN all Woodburning in urban communities is LONG OVERDUE!!!

For Mimi
All Woodburning is destroying our health and our quality of life. There was smoke last night in my neighbourhood. There is Woodsmoke in many neighbourhoods. Our pristine air is being destroyed by the acrid Woodsmoke emissions that permeate our air. Woodburning is taking away our freedom to enjoy our home and our yards. Everyone suffers from Woodsmoke Pollution!
Without healthy lungs and clean air to breathe, the quality of our life is greatly diminished. When you struggle for one breath of air to sustain your life, when you see little children using asthma inhalers to help open their air passages for another breath, when you see millions using oxygen for survival, then you know that Woodsmoke Pollution is unequivocally destroying every breath we take!!
Isn't it time for our political leaders and govenment to recognzie and take action on this Woodsmoke Crisis? Isn't it time to stop the suffering from Woodsmoke related diseases? Isn't it time to make Woodsmoke Pollution our number one priority? Isn't it time to see the children stop struggling for each breath?
The time is long overdue to end Woodburning in our Nation. Every city in Canada has polluted air from Woodburning.
Unequivocally Woodsmoke does take your breath away!! Scientific and medical evidence confirms that Woodsmoke is killing millions world-wide and destroying our fragile environment. We know that even low levels of Woodsmoke Pollution inevitably can do harm to our lungs and our cells.
Fine particulate matter PM (2.5) when inhaled goes deeply into the lungs causing irreparable damage.Take action NOW!! BAN all WOODSMOKE in our communities. Become informed today. Don't wait, your life and breath depend on it!!!
See the following esteemed websites that reach out world-wide helping others who suffer from Woodsmoke pollution in thier life. You will find scientific and medical evidence that will validate the claims that Woodsmoke is a deadly silent killer!!! Read the poignant stories of those who suffer daily from Woodsmoke destroying their health and quality of life.
Then you will begin to grasp the nightmare that people live with daily being subjected to breathing these toxic chemicals found in Woodsmoke that are even worse for our health than tobacco smoke.Everyone deserves the right and common decency to breathe healthy air woodsmoke-free!!

All Woodburning should be banned in urban communities. Canadians are suffering from breathing the acrid Woodsmoke filled air that permeates our neighbourhoods and destroys the quality of our life and our health. Our fragile envrionment also suffers from the needless burning of Wood.

We all deserve the right and common decency to breathe healthy air-woodsmoke-free.
BAN all Woodsmoke!!
Woodsmoke-free communities will become the legacy we will leave future generations!A quote from Dietrich Bonhoeffer says it all:
"The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children"
Our municipalities and government must take action to BAN Woodburning in all Canadian cities.
It is time that Woodsmoke Pollution becomes our number one priority!

All smoke should be banned in residential and urban areas in Canada.
The many cancer causing chemicals found in Woodsmoke increase our risks of premature death.We are bombarded daily with multiple chemical scented products that are making us very ill and harming our health. Exposure to the chemcials found in scented products can vary from person to person. Many have life threatening reactions that can be devestating.
A walk outside to enjoy fresh clean air is almost impossilbe. We have scented dryer sheets, fabrics softners, and perfumes that overwhelme many. Woodsmoke permeates our air, making breathing a struggle for many.
What should be our beautiful pristine air to breathe has become a toxic soup of chemicals that are destroying our health. There are many adverse reactions from the chemicals found in scented products. Those that state they are unscented, have a masking agent to hide the scent. We still are made very ill from the multitude of chemicals we are breathing.Wisely we adopted laws to Ban all tobacco smoking, that saved millions of lives. Laws must be adopted to protect the health and well being of everyone from Woodsmoke!
By raising awareness to this issue of all types of smoke and chemical scented products, we can protect and enjoy our health and the very fresh, beautiful air we all deserve to breathe.
Chemical sensitivities can be debilitating and destroy the quailty of ones life, just as exposure to Woodsmoke Pollution does.
They both are health hazards!
They both destroy our quality of life!
They both do grave harm to our fragile environment!
They both take away your breath!
