NO MORE POLLUTION PLEASE!
 

I moved to Gainesville VA 6 years ago to remove myself from environmental pollution & to enjoy the Civil War trails around here. Now I can’t even drive to my gym without a mask because of all the pollution from the huge trucks delivering so much smoke and pollution you can’t even breathe!  Now you are considering adding insult to injury by not even considering the health of human beings living here.  It is obvious the humans voting for these God-awful data centers don’t care about humans; especially children since a huge DC complex was built directly across the street from Tyler Elementary School.  REALLY???  Now you want to diminish the quality of life of everyone who lives & breathes around these monstrosities. 

I have Reactive Airway Disease caused by pollution & I moved here to breathe clean air.  You have DUTY to protect human beings & our environment first.  Otherwise you just made everyone’s life that have to live around these monstrosities HELL ON EARTH!!
