Far from LA but not from formaldehyde...

I live far from Lousisiana, but not far from formaldehyde. You see, I live just two blocks from Plum Creek Lumber in Columbia Falls, Montana. In 2006 the plant released 464,250 pounds of formaldehyde through air emissions according to EPA records. That's 1,272 pounds a day! And the fiberboard plant is directly across from my 3rd grade son's school....

Please share my story.

Thank you,
