Before outdoor fire pits are banned, Rosemary Glaubitz (Jan. 10) should work on banning jet aircraft, diesel trucks, coal fired power plants, the automobile, all refrigerants, forest fires, volcanic eruptions and don't forget family camping trips, campfires at Scout camp and candles.

I don't think a few fire pits are going to make much difference. Perhaps some people may have a problem with a neighbor who has an outdoor fire pit?
