Who says we need to wait for them to do something about it.
Let's organize!
With 3 people for a first meeting is a good start.
We'll add more people with time.
Are you in?
Please contact Jana at Plane Sense 4 LI. She is looking for volunteers right now actually. They have a facebook group and are the largest activist group in the area.
Also, check out this link to an interesting article
Very interesting article. Scary, in the sense that it doesn't matter what you do, changing these things is very hard. Not impossible though.
I'll get in touch with Jana. Thanks.

I admire your resolve there, Pepe. Still think you have a better chance of banging that cat.....
Guys, this is sort of related, so I hope you can help. I have always hated the smell of garbage. It just churns my stomach! However, I found a really good deal on a home next to the Brookhaven landfill and bought it! I'm so smart! However, the smell is now unbearable and I don't think it's fair that I'm subjected to these attacks. I know the landfill has been there since 1975, but still! Who can I contact regarding this terrible situation?

Your analogy is with a house NEXT TO the landfill. We are not next to the airport.
What if you buy a property 10 miles from a landfill.
When you bought it, it didn't even cross your mind the smell a landfill. You see in google maps that it's not even close to a landfill.
But because they needed to decompress the smell in the landfill area, they made a tunnel that passes right below your new house.
Now you get smell when there's too much trash in the landfill. It's not always, so you didn't smell it when you saw the house before buying it.
You got into a mortgage and spent a ton of money in the process.
The next summer the smell started to come out really bad.
Is that fair?
Wouldn't you question the pipe that sends the smell to your house?
What would you think if people tell you: "you live in long island, where there are landfills. What did you expect?".

It's almost like aircraft cover a larger area than a landfill stench. Amazing stuff. Amazing.
It's the same distance to Manhattan from jfk, and yet, you don't have airplanes flying 1800ft above.
It's almost as if Manhattan has tall buildings that they're trying to avoid and that Manhattan is a much more densely populated area that they're trying to avoid in the unfortunate case of of a plane falling out of the sky. Weird.
