No ecologic law
Pollution and waste, by
nature, are not unnatural.
Everything wastes, from the
atomic level to the human
level to any level. However,
nature has the ability to cope
with this pollution and waste.
This ability is ecologic law: the
building materials of life —
energy, air, water, soil, etc. —
must be and are used over and
over. Wasting or pollution,
then becomes a problem only
when the quantity surpasses
nature's ability to cope with it,
to cycle it.
The fact that humans either
ignore or neglect ecologic law
is obvious. This blatant error is
extremely evident in the fact
of full to overflowing waste
disposal sites and the lack of
new, viable sites; the
disastrous constant loss of
soil; and the overall en
vironmental disaster we
humans have created on this
planet.
In Oregon, with a human
population of 2,633,149 (1980
Census), approximately
2,000,000 tons of solid waste
were generated in 1980. This
quantity is about 4.3-4.7 and
2.7-2 9 pounds of waste per
person per day in urban and
rural areas respectively
(Oregon Department of En
vironmental Quality estimates,
1980). It is also apparent that
these estimates have not
changed for 1983.
It is now time, no, past time,
for each of us to assume
responsibility for our own
waste and pollution. It do not
mean making sure that the
garbage is “thrown away”
because there is no such
place as away. The trash seen
every day in the cities, forests,
disposal sites, etc., is not
away. That garbage is here and
will remain so forever in one
form or another.
Two bills currently in the
Oregon legislaure would allow
us in Oregon at least to begin
to assume responsibility for
our waste. These bills are HB
2244 and SB 405.
House Bill 2244 would re
quire waste reduction plans,
including those that have
already been approved, to pro
vide a program for source
separation of recyclable
materials.
Senate Bill 405 promotes
recycling to a greater extent.
SB 405 would require that the
opportunity to recycle be pro
vided to all the people of
Oregon by July 1, 1986 The
opportunity to recycle at its
minimum is the provision of a
place for collecting recyclable
materials, once a month col
lection of recyclables and a
public education program
about recycling.
Another major part of SB
405 is that it would establish a
strong, environmental waste
policy for Oregon. This policy
would give priority to waste
management in the following,
decreasing order: education,
re-use, recycling, energy
recovery and lastly, dispo
sal.
I strongly urge everyone to
show their support for these
measures, HB 2244 and SB
405, by writing or calling their
elected representatives and
senators. I reiterate, it is time
to take responsibility and con
trol of our waste problem and
with these bills we can do so
with economic and en
vironmental viability.
