Our small farming town of approximately 1700 people has a volunteer recyling program. Last week at our town meeting, we discussed ways to encourage more people to recycle and reduce our town's cost for waste removal. It was decided to form a volunteer committee to look more closely at this issue. I have volunteered to serve on the committee as I feel that the amount of waste being generated is a major environmental concern. Our first meeting is this evening and I hope to attend the meeting with some useful information.On a personal note, I am interested in all aspects of the environmental movement. Currently, I am attending school part-time to earn a degree in Public Administration with the idea that I will work somewhere in the environmental field when I graduate.
