Please ban residential burning

People need help to end residential burning. There is little to no help at the municipal level.

Why is this important?

There are too many people that are being unnecessarily subjected to a neighbor's burning. Some have been admitted to a hospital due to the smoke that enters their home. Speaking to a neighbor generally leads to 'bully burning' which makes the situation even worse. We all know that climate change is adding to the already pollutant saturated air that we are forced to breathe and adding continual wood smoke to the mix is making life miserable for so many people. Some try to sell their homes to move away from burners but find that it is next to impossible to sell their home when it is surrounded with wood smoke. Please consider banning all residential burning and help those that cannot find a way to end the smoke. Everyone should have the right to breathe clean air, especially in their own homes.
