Dear Senator Klobuchar,
It has been brought to my attention that pollution is a rising problem in our society. The problem is not only seen with solid waste pollution but all forms of pollution. That is why I believe in passing the SF1746 bill, which supports improvement in overall state air quality, hazardous waste and water quality standards.
SF1746 bill is about improving the state air quality by reducing all forms of pollution through the adoption of standards from the Pollution Control Agency. The bill also includes promoting solid waste disposal controls by encouraging the updating of collection systems, elimination of open dumps, and improvements in incinerator practices. The adoption of standards for the control of the collection, transportation, storage, processing, and disposal of solid waste and sewage sludge of prevent water, air, and land pollution. Another aspect this bill addresses is noise pollution, which is the maximum level of noise in terms of sound pressure level, which may occur, in the outdoor atmosphere. Lastly, it supports adopting standards of hazardous waste and for the management, identification, labeling, classification, storage, collection, transportation, processing, and disposal of hazardous waste.
As a Health Educator, I feel that people of all ages could benefit from improved air quality, reduced amounts of solid wastes, and reduced amounts of noise pollution. I know that you are a supporter of protecting our environment, and passing this bill would definitely benefit our Minnesota surroundings.
I hope that you support this issue and vote “YES” for the SF1746 bill: to improve the state air quality by reducing all forms of pollution through the adoption of standards from the Pollution Control Agency. These changes could greatly benefit our community’s health and safety.
Should you need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 987-987-6789. I would be more than willing to help promote the importance of this cause, so if there is anything I could do, please let me know.
Thank you for your time.

Hey Shar-
ReplyDeleteGreat job writing your letter. I really liked how you described all the areas in your bill to your representative. I think that you covered everything for the most part. Great job!
Hey Shar!!
ReplyDeleteGood letter! I think this would be very effective if it were really sent in! (maybe you should try?)
I think it was great that you described the bill you wanted to be passed, it gave the reader a better understanding of what they are voting "YES" or "NO" to. This is a very big issue and I think you picked a great topic! You thoroughly explained your viewpoints and I like how you added a personal touch to Klobuchar by saying "I know you are a supporter or protecting our environment..."
Good job Shar!
