31 January
1995
I am concerned after
listening to the radio programme "talking of nature" repeat 31/111995 that there
is not a specific portfolio
in the new constitution on environmental
affairs.
With the worlds present production of toxic waste this
portfolio is becoming more and more necessary - and the problems needed to
be
addressed more and more urgent.
In America a man - William
Brinton has been working for 20 years with compost making developing bacteria
which consume toxic waste.
"Woods end research laboratory, Mount Vernon, Maine
USA
A recycling programme involving every household (end
page 1) in South Africa, should be set up. This recycling of biological
as well as organic waste could be the start of a new environmental
awareness and consciousness to each and every South
African.
Yours faithfully
Mrs Penfold
