Letters: Make Crystal Geyser pay for impacts

All the money there is can not make up for having to think what I will be thinking when I have to look at that establishment. And that is; There is an environmental and social health hazard, something that does a lot more harm than it does good and all for the purpose of making a proffit. And I will have to modify my thinking and my life to keep from ruining my own mental health. In other words it will be a mental burden.
Plastic and the packaging of our water so some can profit selling it back to me. Corporations profiting selling us something we do not need by selling fashion bottled, killing our environment. How about putting smaller water purification plants in the places that they are needed?

The property is zoned correctly.

The water usage will equal that of two homes.

It will create 25 full time jobs with benefits.

You people are just looking high and low for excuses. People need good jobs, but who cares about people right?

If you'd have seen Cleveland in the 1970s, you would have seen a horribly polluted city from the heavy industry. The river running into adjacent lake was so polluted it caught fire and burned for days. The city also dumped its sewage in the lake and drew its drinking water from there. Pittburgh, PA, had a perpetual fog caused by steel mills. Fontana, CA, had the old Kaiser steel mill and its thick black smoke blew all the way along the 90 freeway to Orange County.

Doing away with health standards so we can have jobs is nuts. China did that and now they have to spend billions to clean up the mess. It would have been smarter and cheaper in the long run to build non-polluting factories in the first place. The technology is there. So what's wrong with requiring businesses to invest in it first?

Orland, like Cleveland? Who's blowing smoke up your bum?

Gee pumping water and bottling it, my God that's like a coal fired power plant!

Grow up and stop fearing shadows
