RE: "We, the People" Dear Roy: Bravo for'your editorial: "We, the People" -- November 22, 1989! As a motivator towards increased waste reduction it was both timely and outstanding! I wish to add some comments. Recently, I was reminded that "we the people" are the' generators of the vast amounts of garbage. From Laidlaws perspective, they, as the. "experts" in waste disposal, are providing us with a much-needed service. As we require'hospitals to provide us with health care, private enterprises such as Laidlaw provide us with garbage disposal. One distinct difference, though, is that health care is government-run - a public service. Those in the waste industry may well provide a service, but primarily for profit. It is in their best interest that we generate plenty of garbage in order to keep them in business. Accountability is to the shareholder who invests with the intention intention of turning over a profit on thejr investment. Yes, Roy, "we the people" must become concerned, informed and involved by taking greater interest in waste management and disposal issues. And, there is more -- we must become responsible as consumers, consumers, users, and generators of waste, as well as accountable for the waste we generate. These are key factors in changing our attitudes towards waste management; thus, switching the focus away from our "throw-away" approach. One day, our grandchildren, or great-grandchildren, may well find themselves ruing our consumer habits because todays waste (out- of-sight in dumps) is leaching into their drinking water. Not much of a legacy! You are absolutely right -- it is "we the people" who can, and must, ensure protection of the environment. environment. We can make a difference! difference!
