The Environment which provides us air to breathe and water to drink must be a top priority.
The environment, as well as our own health, and safety with and its people are at a high risk when our dedication to protect our air and water are made weak.
With the recent endangered classifications coming up for vital animals in our ecosystems are known to be harmful- we must not add to the harm at any cost.
The hazards caused by removing any protection to the environment are far more costly than removing the protection.
If any changes are made to our legislation that will put our planet and communities at more of a risk, it is not acceptable. Not to me, not to my family, or the animals who live in our wilderness. The quality of our air, our soil, and our water- makes the quality of our very selves.
We can not play with the safety of humanity. Not for a minute, an hour, or a day. The results of environmental hazards are not being taken seriously and we must find reasonable, and educated help to provide the proper handling of any legislation that regards such importances.
We cannot remove safe operating procedures for ladders in any workplace, so why would we remove any safe handling practices for our environment. It would be an utter failure and disappointment, not to mention the long term effects. We need to take seriously the dangers being presented by this bill.
Our environment is being put at risk right now with the very idea of Bill 66, just as an incapable employer would make an employees work unsafe purposely for monetary gains. It is not just removing safety- it is potential destruction.
We have many ways to make money while nurturing and protecting our environment, so someone needs to grow up and stop scaring the public until we do not have these glorious benefits at hand anymore. The environment is absorbed into ourselves.
Anyone supporting this Bill should seriously re-educate themselves on health and safety of the community, and the environment. This is potential chaos.
Our air, and water are not safe as it is. We should be taking care of that more than anything else. Money can be saved elsewhere- by punishing companies for environmental hazards more harshly and charging more for their unsafe practices including such ideas as found in Bill 66..
It is actually sad I had to write in today about such a blatantly idiotic and selfish idea with such major impacts that may not be immediate, but could be, and will definitely have long term effects of our communities and people we love. Think of any small children you know. Now picture them constantly coughing, picture them burnt from the sun, picture them dying of dehydration, and being poisoned by chemicals, starving to death. This is our future when the environment is no longer protecting us as an effect of our blatant disregard for it put out there by people with no concern for anything other than the wrong type of economic gains, and desperate popularity amongst the worst people that they should be fighting from the source.
People today are stressed enough worrying about money, we cannot cause more stress by having us worry about the death of our planet, and our safety being put at risk.
