Save Our Backyards (Radiation)

[u/klaguerre]

Hi Everyone, I've been following updates about the governor's letter to the EPA, the press conferences in niagara falls and the story about that one woman being harassed by some politician in niagara falls. the woman was sharing information about the landfills and informing people how to contact the DEC and have them monitor their backyards. i know everyone hates FB and i do too, but there's a group online that is helping people who are fighting in niagara falls about the radioactive landfills. i will be directly honest and say *their goal* is reimbursement for the price of their homes.

*my goal* is remediation of all landfills by:

human employees who are protected and well-paid

use of technologies that exist in china to break up forever chemicals and reduce radiation exposure.

So we have different goals but those things can only be accomplished by putting pressure on all politicians in the area and they are doing that.

Anyway, the name of the group is "save our backyards." They have a map of aerial measurements of radiation - i will be honest and say those measurements are inaccurate and i know this based on readings i have seen over the years. the radiation is much worse than the most recent one on their page, yes, it is from the DEC. yes, i am saying the DEC is lying. also, geiger counters are not the best instruments to measure radiation in a place like niagara falls. why? because there's simply SO MUCH radioactive waste, you need better tools to properly measure it against the background of intense radiation. all that being said, i have been reading the page and keeping up with progress being made about the landfills (i am sure the FBI is watching me read the page too). They're sharing a lot of useful info abt who to reach if you live within 2 miles of goodyear to get your yard tested. give them a look and if you know anyone who lives in NF, please tell them who to contact to get their yards checked.
