Forestry burnoffs

in

 This should be the time of year for getting out and enjoying Tasmania's perfect weather but months of burn-offs in our logged forests put a stop to that.

After the clearfelling of Tasmania's native forests, the logging industry then burns the area with a napalm like liquid creating a fireball that spews smoke for many kilometres. This is a cheap way of preparing the destroyed forest area for replanting. The ecological and health effects are devastating.

Tips on writing to the Premier:

Personalise your email as much as possible. Start by stating that you're a local resident of your electorate, and explain why this issue: is important to you; affects your family and daily life; is particularly relevant to your local area.

Your MPs take personalised emails from their electors much more seriously than pro-forma emails. While we are happy to provide a suggested letter, we strongly encourage you to add why you personally care about this issue.
