Target: Commissioner Robert R. Scott, New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services
Goal: Mitigate air pollution in the Merrimack Valley.
Merrimack Valley, a region integral to New Hampshire’s identity, is facing a public health crisis due to escalating levels of air pollution. Emissions from factories, vehicular traffic, and other pollutants are compromising air quality, posing a serious risk to both human health and the environment.
This region is not just a collection of towns and cities; it’s a vital part of New Hampshire’s social fabric. The valley is home to numerous schools, hospitals, and residential areas. Moreover, it’s a hub for several industries that contribute to the state’s economy.
Sign the petition to implore the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, Air Resources Division, to enact immediate, robust measures to combat air pollution in Merrimack Valley. Essential steps should include stricter emission standards for factories, promotion of clean energy alternatives, and public awareness campaigns on air quality.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Commissioner Robert R. Scott,
Merrimack Valley is suffocating. The air we breathe is tainted with pollutants from industrial emissions, vehicular exhaust, and other harmful sources. The consequences are dire: increased respiratory illnesses, environmental degradation, and a compromised quality of life for its residents.
We demand immediate, impactful action. A comprehensive strategy must be developed and implemented to tackle the air pollution affecting Merrimack Valley. This strategy should not only enforce stricter emission standards but also promote community involvement in adopting cleaner, more sustainable lifestyles.
The stakes are high. Merrimack Valley is more than just a geographical region; it’s a community whose health and well-being are in jeopardy.
We beseech you to act with the urgency this critical situation demands. Implement initiatives that will not only alleviate the current air quality issues but also secure a cleaner, healthier future for Merrimack Valley.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
