Hello!

Will anyone who suffers from asthma, allergies, heart and/or lung problems and whose health is negatively affected by an ongoing problem of a neighbour's noxious wood smoke please contact me? I want to do something about this problem. My number is 921-1293.

I would like to form a group of LIKE-MINDED concerned and forward-thinking citizens to address this particular environmental and health hazard here in West Vancouver, my hometown. Don't worry, I'll do most, if not all, of the work. I just want to know there is some support out there. I am willing to work hard on my own to give this problem the attention it deserves, but there is more power in numbers.

Please... although this is a forum, I ask that only people sympathic to scientific research and the point of view that wood smoke is harmful to health and environment reply to me.

By the way, I will no longer be replying to naysayers, game players, or devil's advocates! It is a waste of time which can be put to better use. I am not here to listen to their contentiousness and contrariness, only to seek support because our local government is asking us for suggestions.

Now is the time if you are sincerely concerned about the negative effects of wood smoke on your health, your enjoyment of life, and your environment.

Thank you!
