Why should we have to close our windows to try to keep out the smoky, terrible air? Air pollution is getting worse in this city and these campfires should be banned.

smoky air is polluted air

ban this air pollution

N2M 5G1

Smoky air is a concern for all of us trying to live healthy lifestyles.

Most people in this city don't smoke cigarettes yet we breathe in smoky air in our neighbourhoods.

Pioneer Park Thanks for sending this to me! I say BAN these smoky fires from backyards. The smoky air is a real concern.

let's get rid of the crappy air:)

Kitchener has an environmental policy? I guess we should close our windows and be quiet.

The air is disgusting with smoke too much of the time. Kitchener does not seem like a healthy place to live.

N2E1B4 The taxes keep going higher and the air keeps getting smokier. Why did we not read in the paper when Waterloo banned these fires?

N2H 4J3 The air in this city is often polluted with smoke from these fires. This is a public health hazard.

N2C 2L4

Is Kitchener expecting to get more doctors and hospitals or where are you going to put all of the sick people?

N2M 5G9

please, please, please stop this smoky air

I am going to tell my friends in our building about this petition. Smoky air is a big problem in this city.

Country Hills I was surprised to hear that Waterloo banned these campfires. Why did we not read about it in the newspapers. Kitchener residents should not have to breathe smoky air.

why should I have to close my windows all year long? Too many kids in this city have asthma and our air is really bad.

We shouldn't have to close our windows to try to keep out the smoky, polluted air in this city. This city needs to ban these fires.

keep it going ;)

N2M 5H4 Wood smoke is a health hazard just like cigarette smoke. These fires were always a hazard to our helath.

Why would Kitchener not ban these smoky fires at the same time as Waterloo?

polluting health hazards

These campfires cause pollution right by houses. Kitchener needs to ban these health hazards.

;) please keep it going by sending this to your friends

N2H 6M4 This city needs to safeguard air quality as well as water quality.

Waterloo and Cambridge banned smoky fires from city backyards and it's time for Kitchener to do the same.

N2C 2L4 I Here is my postal code.

I am very allergic to wood smoke and cigarette smoke. Causing me to use Epipen injections.
WE wish that the community would understand the importance of banning any kind of woodburning in Kitchener, to support people like me and help them to stay healthy.

I have asthma and neighbours who burn wood outdoors on a small residential lot. Keeping my windows closed and staying indoors does not prevent the woodsmoke from aggravating my condition.

I have had my house full of smoke because of a neighbour's fire. I am afraid that his right of having a fire infringes on our rights to be able to breathe in the neighbourhood. I must vote strongly against it.

Very good initiative

Very good initiative

N2G 2R7 When I go outside my door or open my windows this city does not smell like a healthy place to live. Most people do not smoke cigarettes yet our air is full of smoke pollution.

This open burning is an infringement on our right to breathe"clean" air.

The right to breathe clean air should be the only concern for council to consider.

It is not only the backyard pits that smell. People with wood burning fire places need to be educated on what type of wood to burn. Many times the fumes burn my eyes and nose.

E-Testing our cars is mandatory to help with air pollution. Wood burning fires in a suburb environment pleases a few at the expense to many. Its time to stop these fires and keep our neighborhoods environmentally liveable. Thanks.

I am only in this city during my school semesters. The smoky air gives me headaches, swollen eyes and sinus trouble. I can't wait to go home for the summer.

Pioneer Park These campfires are much too close to property lines and homes. No one should be exposed to this campfire smoke unwillingly. Go camping if you want to wreck your own health.
