This petition was created to stop building contractors from burning the trees they clear out from construction sites.

This petition was created to stop building contractors from burning the trees they clear out from construction sites.

     We the undersigned are concerned with the burning of trees to clear land for construction.  We request that, in order to not put wildlife at risk, to stop burning trees in order to have a clearing to build.  I believe the trees could be put to better use, and not endanger wildlife.  Thank you for taking the time to read about our concerns.

WE MOVED HERE TO THE MYRTLE BEACH S.C. AREA, APPROX 3YRS AGO. SINCE THEN WE HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO WEEKLY DOSES OF BURNING TRASH, TREES AND GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT ELSE! YOU CANNOT EVEN ENJOY YOUR PATIO, LAWNS AND OPEN WINDOWS. YOUR HAIR, BODY, CLOTHES, EVERYTHING SMELLS! THIS IS GOT TO BE A "SOUTHERN" THING! YOU DO NOT SEE THIS IN THE NORTHERN STATES!!! I FEEL SORRY FOR CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY, ESPECIALLY THE ONES WITH CHRONIC BREATHING PROBLEMS. THEY RETIRED HERE TO ENJOY THE CLEAN OCEAN AIR, AND INSTEAD THEY ARE EXPOSED WITH ENVIROMENTALLY POOR AIR. GET WITH THE PROGRAM, SOUTH CAROLINA!!!!!! COME INTO THE 21ST CENTURY. THIS ISN'T "DIXIE" NO MORE!! THINK SMART, EDUCATE YOUR POLITICIANS "PUT THE FIRE OUT!"

THE DEVELOPERS IN SOUTH CAROLINA LOOK FOR THE "CHEAPEST" WAY OUT, WHEN DISPOSING OF LAND CLEARING. THATS THE "DUMB" WAY! YOU CAN RECYCLE ALL THE LUMBER, AND THE ROOTS INTO MULCH ,ETC AND MAKE ENOUGH OF IT TO PAY FOR THE SITE WORK. I WITNESSED IT! COME ON THINK SMART! HAVE CONCERN FOR THE PEOPLE'S HEALTH AND THE ENVIROMENT.

Is this just a very general petition to save trees? Would help to add some more details as to what exactly is intended by this petition. Petitions generally need to be addressed to a group of people, MNCs, Govts. I really appreciate this cause and that is why I am here to sign it, but helps a lot if we be specific to get more signatures.

It is awful to burn trees for construction work. Even though we have to build buildings, we need to strike a balance somewhere, we cannot go on indiscriminately killing trees. There is so much of life in these trees, so many organisms, insects, birds, snakes... we need to remember this.

These people probably cannot understand English and will do anything for a pitiful paycheck. THE BOSSES need to be fined for destroying trees in the first place, and adding MORE CO2 by wanton BURNING!

I disagree with this whole process. It is not fair. We need trees. They help with global warming.
