This is an email with some photos I received from a concerned resident.
Apparently the 24x7 use of their generators causes lots of bad smelling smoke and dumps lots of black soot into the surrounding neighborhood.
------------------------------
Photos showing the Jaragua Hotel generators polluting the air and surrounding neighborhood. Apartment buildings, schools and local medical clinics.
Continued complaints from local residents appear to be falling on death ears. The hotel has responded to complaints with the typical ?corporate spin? and no real concrete dates or plan of action to solve the problem.
The Jaragua Hotel is a USA owned hotel chain and would be closed down in the USA for this type of continued 24x7 environmental pollution.
Why don?t they have the same corporate values and consideration for local residents health here in the Dominican Republic?
One solution would be to follow the example of the hotel next door, which is connected to the local electrical supply and only uses their generator when there is no local electricity or in an emergency. This greatly reduces the amount of air borne pollution and suffering to local residents.
Does anybody know the best course of action to get them to do something and stop this continued abuse on local residents health?
