THE EDITOR, Sir:

On Wednesday October 11, 2007, a very rainy day, I worked from 6 am to 5 p.m. in a district named Dunder Hill in St. Elizabeth. Dunder Hill is situated on an exquisite hill and prevents Bull Savannah and Junction from having geographical intercourse.

As I laboured planting bananas I did a physical inventory of jet planes passing directly overhead between 6 am and 5 p.m. I counted 19 planes. These planes continue to pass with monotonous frequency during the entire night. My great and profound concern, apart from disturbing my sanity, is the serious damage that is being done to our atmosphere, pollution and destruction of our ozone layer. Why can't these planes travel over the sea and avoid our land mass.

Will the relevant bodies provide the necessary explanation and education on this matter.

I am, etc.,

H.D. NEIL
