My sister , Susan Vorgias levas at Lowell. One Of the reason I love going to her house, is not have an urban city like Chicago. I do not understand how is pisible that an other state help with the problems of an other state. Chicago or Illinois are well known for been the most corrupt . So it is very unclear what it is really beyond all of this. I am opposed to the proposed rail line. We as a society have come to realize we have abused our planet to an almost point of no return. We have been recycing and trying to conserve energy for years. It is a different life style from the throw away" and Industral Age. Recycle, reuse, reclaim, conserve are no longer buzz words, but a way of life. Just about every show I see on TV is in full support of reclaiming and reusing materials used by our forefathers, Amerian Pickers, Barnyards Builders, DIY network shows. Yard Crashers have used goats to clear a yard of folliage, and so does Chicago, so as not to use gas powered machinery and heavy equipment. Gardens are being placed on TOP of buidlings and in empty city lots across the country. Using farming to rehabilitate neighborhoods as well as humans. Farmers Markets are more popular than ever, are in great demand and are supporting families. GMO's are no longer accepable. Old tires are shredded into rubber mulch for playgrounds. The tops of rubber fishing boots are used to make windshield wipers. We are finding new ways to use throw aways instead of putting it in landfills. We are smarter today. The air, water, land and noise pollution, damage, this rail line will create speaks fr itself. and is NOT where this country is headed. We have learned we need to live WITH the planet not adjust the planet to suit out wants. I am asking you to consider my opinion and oppose the project. Period."
