Support for Exchange | Letter

Who is going to manage our garbage? Will it be an out of town big business or will we find our own way and manage it ourselves?  That is the question.

Since every one of us generates garbage, please get involved over this issue of the management of our island garbage. We all create garbage – but then what? The Exchange has done its homework and stepped up to the plate with some thoughtful and economically sound ideas for management.

Please support our local Exchange by showing up at the next meeting to determine this on Orcas Island. Support the Orcas Exchange in keeping our affairs LOCAL. The Exchange is part of our local economy and works towards recycling, sustainability and the health of our environment.

It is forward thinking and we are a model/ mentor community that “pays it forward” in so many areas. This can and should be another long range model. Garbage isn’t just a business yet in the long run  managing it locally could well be the best business.
