Duntroon residents continue to oppose road deal with aggregate company Collingwood Enterprise Bulletin
We are appalled that you have agreed to the demands of Walkers Aggregate.The Earth is in a crisis NOW. If you google "350ppm" you will find many YouTube videos that are excellent about the impact of climate change. I would recommend that you view the following video. It is one that my students showed the class as they presented their research on the climate change crisis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7 mETr1SqXk
The decision to expand the quarry is astounding to my students. One question was, "Do they (as in "you") not get it?" My reply was, "No. They don't seem to. Money in the pocket is more import a nt. Now is more important than tomorrow."
This decision is not a case of what is good for Clearview. You know that the residents who elected you are so against the expansion and that the employees of Walkers Aggregate do not live in the area. However, let us reiterate.
Carbon dioxide levels are far above any level that they have EVER been. If individuals, industries and governments do not take action NOW, or, as scientists agree, within the next four-to-10 years, we, our children, and our grandchildren will be suffering the consequences. And yes, the word is, "suffering." What will happen? My students all could easily tell you!
