Concerns Regarding Environmental Health and Community Well-Being

Dear Mr. Day, Dr. McDonald, and Esteemed Representatives of the New York State Department of Health and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, I hope this message finds you well. My name is Ivana Savinovich, and I am reaching out to express a concern that has been affecting the quality of life in our community. Recently, I have noticed an issue with waste management in our neighborhood, particularly with animal waste being left unattended in public spaces, including yards. This not only poses health risks but also detracts from the overall cleanliness and enjoyment of our shared environment. I understand that this may be a complex issue, but I believe it is important for our community to work together to find constructive solutions. Increased awareness and resources for responsible pet ownership, as well as potential community initiatives, could greatly benefit our residents. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate the work you do for our community and look forward to any guidance or support you can provide. Sincerely, Ivana Savinovich
