RE: Regarding the City Council’s decision to move the local landfill.
Dear Name of Council Member,
I am a high school biology teacher at Name of High School, and I am writing this letter to protest the decision of the City Council to move a waste dump from its current location, to a location out of town.
I understand that the land needs to be cleared for housing, but believe there is a better place to relocate the waste material than the one selected by the council.
The current suggested location is in the flood plain of Name of Creek, which feeds Name of Lake. This could post a potential environmental disaster for the creek and lake if there is ever a flood.
Even during normal rainfall, toxins will end up in the water. Today, Name of Lake is a balanced eco-system that is used for recreation and wildlife habitat.
My high school class joins me in protesting the new location for the waste and has searched for a better place. They found Name of Place to the south of the city where a waste dump would have a minimal effect on the surroundings.
Kindly reconsider your decision concerning the location of the new waste dump and make the necessary changes. My class and I would appreciate a response from you regarding this issue. I can be reached at Phone Number or at Email Address.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
Sincerely,
Signature of Sender
Printed Name of Sender
