Don't Let NC Become A Trash Dump!
North Carolina is becoming a hot spot for other states
to dump their trash.
Currently in North Carolina, Brunswick,
Camden, Columbus, Hyde, Richmond and Scotland Counties are all
considering proposals for new landfills that would permanently
receive trash from other states. Send the below letter and tell
North Carolina's leaders you don't want our state to become a
trash can for the entire East Coast!
Importing trash is a short term revenue fix for these rural
communities, but it does not get to the heart of economic woes
in these counties. It does, however, saddle each community with
a potentially expensive, future environmental problem. If all
the proposed landfills are built, North Carolina will become the
fourth largest waste-importing state in the nation. To turn our state into a
destination for waste is to turn away from a vision of a strong,
beautiful, and healthy North Carolina.
Please sign the petition today. Have an even greater impact by adding a personal comment to your signature.
Dear North Carolina Decisionmaker,
I am concerned about a recent influx of proposed landfills for out-of-state trash. Importing trash creates long term environmental problems for our state and is not a sustainable way to provide revenue to poor, rural communities. Please use your authority to help protect North Carolina's communities from proposed new landfills.
Sincerely,
Your name
