Woodsmoke

Hi Shirley

For your and the BCC's information attached is the TCC submission on woodsmoke. I represented BCC at the meeting chaired by the Department of the Environment, Climate Change, Energy and Water on woodsmoke. At that meeting I stated that while Tuggeranong had particular problems associated with their topography, woodsmoke was a wide-ranging problem and hence BCC supported the broad thrust of TCC's presentation (which was less detailed than their attached submission).

If BCC agrees I would like a TCC supportive statement to be sent to David Power and a copy cc'd to Darryl Johnston. The supportive statement could be along the lines of: "While we are aware that Tuggeranong has particular problems associated with their topography, woodsmoke is a wide-ranging problem for those with breathing difficulties and other health impairments and hence BCC supported the broad thrust of TCC's submission".

It would be useful to send a copy of our supportive statement to other CC's so that they may think about adding their support.

Unfortunately I will be in Melbourne at the time of the next BCC meeting.

Best wishes

Charles

climate change

Climate change is an issue that people must be bothered about. If we will observe, it's not just a simple problem that we can overlook. Climate change brings big impact to the whole society especially in our economy. If we want progress, we must do something to overcome this big problem which is the climate change.
