I just read the letter from Chan Suto in The Citizen regarding outside burning in Peachtree City. I totally agree with this issue on burning.
As a 90+-year-old retired physician, I appreciate the value of clean air in the lungs.
Walking is my main source of exercise — simply having to terminate this to escape the offensive smoke on an otherwise beautiful day.
Peachtree City is an otherwise progressive city in so many ways, simply to succumb to this lack of foresight in providing a clean environment in which to live.
We could learn a few things from Griffin, our neighbor to the south of us. They provide:
• NO outside burning.
• Curbside pickup of yard debris.
I hope the City Council will make decisions to promote the general welfare and a healthy living environment for its citizens.
