The current emissions level…

The current emissions level is already too high if the increased population is taken into account. Many more people are affected than was the case 20 years ago. In the last three weeks I have experienced one afternoon of very strong stockyards odour and a week before that on a Friday evening restaurant visit to the Stockyards the smell, even as I arrived in my car, was enough to make us gag. Since there is nothing we can do to stop this plant from being built on nearby flood plain, the owners must be held to a much higher standard than ever. Despite the dubious re-classification of the land as industrial, it still remains an overwhelming residential area as well as flood plain that, from time to time ends up under water.
