The Greater Charleston, West Virginia Chemical Leak: Environmental Concerns in West Virginia which I

It is with a great sense of urgency and reverence that we petition you to respond to the chemical spill that undoubtedly affects an unmentioned invaluable resource other than that cited in the media. In addressing human consumption, wildlife and environmental considerations are disregarded. As you must agree, animals have the born right to not only subsist, but also co-exist without exposure to manmade particulates which affect their function and health. Being that they have more fragile systems than humans, due in part to their size and dependence upon open water and food sources, immediate and effective resolution is imperative. If one does not righteously regard the precious lives at stake with this issue, there is another point to contemplate. Nature is abounding with sensitive integrated chains which then affect other levels. In other words, if one level is affected, so are others, up to and including humans. Atmospheric considerations are also at stake. As contaminated water evaporates, so too future environmental sources are influenced.
Thank you in advance for your attention and consideration of this matter. It is our hope that you appreciate the magnitude of our situation as fellow inhabitants of our planet. We are therefore politely requesting your actions to not only personally support the immediate resolution of this issue, but also that of your colleagues.
