Mr. Biýnting stated that God had given us-the management of three e Vements essential to if e on this planet, being air, water and soil. and plant lufe. "I think it is time to pause andi take a look at our past management and te' apply cur -tcchnology to new manage- nient so that our 'gifts' are main- aged in such a way that they will be available not only to us, but to our chîidren and future gener- ations." 1lie asked that they be held in a condition in which they eau hp used for lufe support- "I feeî we arc now at the cross- roads",. stated Mr. Buntingl The dumping of large quantities of waste into our air and water is catchingî up .with us and we ýare halquite literally, toi choke on or w waste. This is. borne eut by th.e smog conditions around lrecitiles, said Mr. Bunting. 'As far as our water is con- ceined, there is as much water on eaxth today a there ever lias hen" e said' Our w ater short- aget does niot exist because of. a lack of water but rather it is -a problemn of where the water is and if it is fit to use, stated Mr. Bunting. Here Mr.. Bunting cited that New York city is net short of watcr for thet Hudsoni River carnes billions of gallons of wat- er a day past the city. "Hlowever miosi of the cities on this river dum-ip iuntreated sewage and in, dutstrial1 waste into the river. This water lias to be passed up by New York slowly dying of thirast. Tt mnakes one gag just !a littie wbnwe are told Ithat the astro- niauts use 'recycled' (puirifiedi fron) perspenation, urine and tecus) waten for dinking.. Yet a. saine type of water fnm their taps without the benefit of good recycling purification." hie saiýd.
