Everyone has to use the materials and support the company. It’s up to the company to employ the best technology it can to stop pollution. It’s not up to the people to “quit using stuff that contains nickel”. That will never happen. The company has to clean up itself.

I find it interesting to look at the direction that brown patch points – directly at Lake Temiskaming and area. We have 25% higher cancer rates than the Ontario average and 50% more mental health problems. It has long been rumored that the superstack and other tall smokestacks in Sudbury contribute to acid rain and pollution in our area. It seems coincidental that the brown plume of dead vegetation indicates the most common weather patterns and direction aiming right at our area. You can even see brown areas just past Lake Temiskaming similar to the ones shown in these images if you look at Google Earth. We can’t be certain they are related but it’s possible.

Nice job copying and pasting from Wikipedia dude. Even better job for taking it out of context.

Hate it so much? Quit using every piece of technology that contains any type of nickel, copper, platinum, palladium, gold, silver, almost every valuable metal.

Only way you will live up to what you say is if you quit supporting the company.

Walk your ass to work.

Hi,

I was born in Sudbury. It is a city with hard working people, vibrant outdoor life and a new outlook on development and environmental reclamation. I no longer live there but My Grandparents and father have deeper roots in fact my dad installed the first traffic light!

Before someone can truly judge how someone or something is one should know all of the facts

Thanks,

To all those who are giving negative feedback about Sudbury and have lived there/ been there. Just keep in mind that it was your choice, or some distant relatives choice to like there. The entire township was founded there BECAUSE of the ore deposits that were there, not the other way around.
So I feel for your losses and medical issues, but if you really cared that much, you would move. Sudbury is one of the largest Ni/Cu producing mines in the world besides Norlsk in Russia. They arent going to close it down. The world relies too heavily on the minerals deposited there.
Stop whinging…
