Tell the US Forest Service to Stop the Smoke... Put the Fires Out!
The Issue
Photo: Lake Tahoe, the jewel of the Sierra chokes on Phosphorus, Nitrogen and Carbon black.
US Forest Service Administrators are engaged in purposeful fire, smoke, heat and carbon release growth practices.
These dangerous pollution practices are not based on true science and harm us all, including our children, the very young, the elderly, those who are pregnant, respiratory patients, ranch animals, pets, our cherished wildlife, local and regional recreation, visitors and commerce. They degrade the water quality and clarity of our streams, rivers and lakes.
Largely unknown to the public and press the US Forest Service has been quietly "growing" fires, smoke and heat with tactics called "Box and Burn", "Minimal Impact Suppression Tactics", and since 1978, engaging in what is known as "Appropriate Suppression Response" and "Wildfire Use" (WFU) (Code for growing fires).
As we have witnessed for years, this purposeful US Forest Service assault on our clean air has systematically clouded major US Western Cities with toxic smoke plumes reaching from the Western US, to as far east as New York.
Tell US Forest Service Administrators to STOP GENERATING TOXIC SMOKE....Stop Growing Fires....PUT THE FIRES OUT!
