Petition: Noise Pollution in Michigan

For the last three months, Leon Kiley and other residents of Grand Traverse County, Michigan have dealt with non-stop noise blasts from bird scare cannons. These devices are used by farmers to project earsplitting sounds that keep birds off of their crops. Leon is using the Causes petition tool to pressure local government officials to regulate the cannons. See Leon's petition here.
