It is NOT a Green Project if it also...

  • gives off toxic bpa chemicals through just normal wear and tear

  • threatens to destroy important cultural and archaeological sites

  • threatens wetlands 

  • is a blot on our beautiful rural views and vistas

  • effects some people's sleep and health

  • causes noise complaints

  • has a real risk of fire (near homes and a major forest)

  • ruins our stunning night sky with sets of red lights blinking 20-60 times a minute

  • causes driver distraction and prolonged construction annoyance
