Garbage Wastes Resources
“The congregation will get a ‘bang’
out of pops sermon today!”
Shop El Campo Merchants
Americans use 100,000
acres of land to dump
their garbage and trash,
and they spend $4 billion
a year to get it there.
Americans throw away
enough organic wastes
each year to produce the
energy equivalent of 80
million barrels of oil.
In addition, the
American consumer
spends about nine per-
cent of his food budget on
packaging he will throw
away.
.Some say America’s
throwaway attitudes may
leave us chipping away at
our resources and
smothering under our
own trash.
Some residents tell you
there’s enough land to
handle “our share” of the
approximately 16 billion
tons of trash produced
daily in this country.
Others see a need for
conservation of Texas
and water resources, the
wellspring of the state’s
significant impact on the
national economy
through agriculture.
“As Texas residents,
we share the burden of
this nation’s tremendous
waste problem, along
with the responsibility to
‘maximize’ our precious
Smith.
“At the heart of
maximizing these
resources is an at-
titudinal change —
moving from irrespon
siblt wastefulness to a
more conservative, low-
waste society,” she says.
"A conservative, low-
waste society is based on
the belief that we wisely
use resources we have,
and that we recognize the
wasteful use of resources
as harmful and
detrimental to each and
every individual’s quality
of life,” she explains.
Smith, a family life
education specialist on
the home economics staff
of the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service, says
most people just don’t
realize there’s a waste
problem
“Few citizens consider
what happens to the trash
after it is hauled away
from their curbs.
“Most Americans don’t
see the nearly 100,000
acres of land used as a
place to get trash out of
our way.
“And people seldom
think about the health
hazards associated with
waste.”
As technology has
improved food safety and
made packaging an
element of convenience,
safety and enjoyment,
people have assumed
these advances to be
positive with few, if any,
negative returns, the
specialist says.
“Consumers have
forgotten, or at least
pushed to the back of
their minds, the fact that
paper plates, aluminum
pie tins and plastic forks
are wasteful,” Smith
adds.
“These items, while
convenient and
economical in the short
run, will be cumbersome
and expensive in the long
run unless we decide to
curb our ‘appetite for
waste,’ ” she says.
