It should come as no surprise to residents of Monroe County that the Holcim cement plant near Dundee is one of the county’s largest polluters.  Just follow the smokestacks, I say…

In a perfect world, of course, we’d have no smokestacks.  The world would be pollution-free.  No one would be born with asthma.  And no one would die of lung disease or cancer.

Of course, we live in an imperfect world.  We like the freedom to drive gas-burning cars.  And we like nicely-paved roads and driveways that places like Holcim help to create.

So, I thought that the Monroe Evening News did a good job in highlighting the possible repercussions of more stringent environmental regulations and the Dundee Holcim plant.
