on the horizon

As many of you know I have been working with WIRE (Wolfe Island Residents for the Environment) for over a year now. As participating members WIRE's main concern with the impending wind turbine project is that our federal and local government put forth best practice when it comes to protecting our nationally designated Important Bird Areas, wetlands and grasslands. It has been a long battle to get correct policy in place. Unfortunately we are facing more personal environmental health concerns as we are learning about LaFarge's plans for creating a cement factory for the turbines. Please take a look and listen here, here and here. The last link shows some images of mine specifically to be used for this video.
It's tough not to get depressed over the impending change, but what makes it that much more worse is the complete lack of transparency and truth a project of this magnitude deserves. Like many others not thrilled with this project, I feel as though the comfort, serenity and support I have always felt from my community environment disintegrating and this leaves me very uncertain about my future home. To say I am distraught with the knowledge and information I have received throughout this long process is not an overstatement. I truly ache for the landscape and habitat that has humbled me time and time again for the past 13 years. If all else fails, perhaps there will be some solace in knowing I tried, we tried very hard.
