Georgia-Pacific

Driving south from Brunswick, Ga. last Sunday morning, I pulled the car over when I saw this. It's a Georgia-Pacific paper mill filling the air with the stench of manufacture. There is a digital version I also took with my little Canon S100 that's posted on DPUG with an entirely different aspect ratio.

Lovely shot - the lighting is especially good bringing out the vapors.Remember, that smell is the smell of people having jobs to support their families. I'm sure most of that is water vapor, and meets EPA regulations.
 
That smell is hydrogen sulfide. https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/hydrogensulfide/ That jobs are involved in repugnant enterprises could excuse those in the tobacco industry as well. We all use paper and should not pretend our appetite for it is innocent of consequences. For me, the issue is that the industry that is enriched by this lobbies against regulations that would scrub effluvia clean of toxic and noxious emissions, because doing so would eat into profits. It's utter nonsense to believe that adhering to strict regulations would diminish employment here as the wood pulp source is so proximate and the Koch brothers know that and realize that a threat to go elsewhere is a lie. The issue is that a greedy industry is loathe to grant its neighbors their right to clean air. Period!!
