The following is a letter I sent to the EPA. Everyone in Housatonic and Great Barrington should do the same. The email address is R1Housatonic@EPA.gov.

To whom it may concern,

I find it quite disgusting that the quiet little village of Housatonic, MA, has to put up with hundreds of trucks carrying toxic waste through the center of town, as well as having to put up with noise pollution 24/7.
