I am an avid user of Myspace. Lately The Ecology Works has been able to get in touch with many different individuals who are trying to make some sort of difference when it comes to our weakening environment. Today when I logged on to Myspace I received the following message:
Hello,
I would like to introduce myself to you as a person also compassionate about the environment. I would like to invite you to become a friend of my page and possibly educate you on the problem in which my family and I have encountered. Imagine starting a chapter in your life of starting a family, moving into a new home, and not really having the right to enjoy your new home. Additionally, being told by your community leaders and others that really you don’t have “clean air” rights.
Basically, you will see from the page I have created, that I have become passionate about my freedom to clean air. I have had this circumstance brought upon my wife and I without choice. We were actually eventually forced to move from our home. I am looking for your support in any way possible, even if it is simply becoming a friend on my page or sharing my page with your friends who are environmentally sound.
I chose to contact you because I researched myspace looking for those who seemed mutually in agreeing that our environment is very precious. I found you and your page in that search. If you enjoy my page please also visit the Clean Air Revival’s myspace page: www. myspace. com/cleanairrevival. This is a non-profit that I volunteer for that is supporting me in my efforts to bring awareness and education of smoke pollution. We would love to add you as a friend as well.
Please take the time to view my page, if you wish to become a friend of mine I would greatly appreciate it, I would also love to add you as a friend on the Clean Air Revival’s Page. If not I want to thank you very much for your time and God Bless in your endeavors.
Sincerely,
Joel
I looked at Joel's page and found the full story of what he and his wife have been fighting through. It was published in USA Today, here is the link if you are interested in reading it:

Joel's story, unfortunately is not uncommon. There are thousands of Americans living without clean air, suffering from asthma and other breathing problems because of it. If you have a story and would like to share it, please do so. You may contact us via myspace, our url is: http://www.myspace.com/ecologyworks, or you may send an email to svega@vitaltechnologies.com. We really do want to hear your stories and share them with the rest of the world. People need to be made aware.
