Subject: Bill 121, Bill 122, and Resolution 134-05
Please support Bill 121, Bill 122, and Resolution 134-05. The costs are relatively small compared to the long-
term costs of the alternatives, like creating more landfills or developing incineration facilities. And they are also
measures that can be implemented quickly to address the problem of solid waste disposal.
As a small community, we lack the consumer clout to force minimal packaging standards, as California has
done in the early 90's. Consequently, our only viable long-term alternative is to increase our local productivity
and self-sufficiency, striving to reduce our dependence on importation from the mainland. That probably
requires restructuring the tax system, shifting more of the burden on a high sales tax.
