Deadly Air Pollution- A Continuing True Story

Page four

Beginning the fight

Based on our research and evidence, we gathered signatures on a petition, contacted city officials and wrote letters to the editors of our local paper. Thus began a citywide campaign to gain a ban on outdoor burning in Macon, Georgia.
Our efforts were written about in the Macon Telegraph and we appeared on the local tv news. Although we won a few small victories, the progress has been slow and discouraging.
We need the help of all citizens who are concerned about their own health and the health of our families and neighbors.

We continue to listen to those who are being affected and to those who can offer solutions.
