NATURALISTS WOODS, WATER AND WILDLIFE By Miïke SingIletani Ontario tiesparateiy nieeds a state-of-the-art facility f'or treatmient and dlisposai of hiazardous wastes. The recentiy-annauinced seiection of a preferred site for thiis faciiity is an important step toward that goal. Far, the longer Ontario is without such a facîlîty, tie mare we are - and will be - expased ta hazardaus wastes. Every one of us - men, wamen, chiidren, birds and fishi - lives, breathes, driniks and maoves about in a hitge chiemicai saup. The basic broth lias been thiere since timne immemiiorial, providing the very sustenance for life. But, over the past tw2o ceni- turies, or sa, "we" (Society) havý ebegun ta0 add vast nuiesand quantaities of chemnicals ta0 that saup. Lt bias been ecstîmated that perhaps 500W w chemicals are added ta auri techniological repetoire each year. Andc this doesn't in- clude the progressive in saine cases, exponiential in- crease ini quantities of already-used chemicals.« Tagethier, they constitute ani eiînmas liaadof, ulimately, waste wvhich ainst be disposed. Many of aur mare responsible waste geiera'tars dIo their utmaositet enisure safe disposaI. Oth1ers do not. Either way, sa lonig as comi-prehiensive, state-of-the,- art facilities are unavailable, wastes will continue ta go samrewhere. Same find their wyinta, ordinary dumps.
