No our withdrawal didn't mean that NWF is abandoning the struggle to dean up and keep America beautiful We an as dedicated as ever to the goals of KAB What it meant was that NWF wants a effective campaign to eliminate Utter “anti-litter- Perspective volofiVrits beverage container and packaging industries For years we have maintained that the quickest way to cut down on Utter in the UA would be to cut down on the production of billions of throwaway containers each year We have argued that the antUlter while certainly desirable tacks ouy toe symptoms of our solid waste problem and ignores the principal cause — toe growth of toe throwaway ethic in America The throwaway ethic not only a lot of produces a lot of litter but precious KAB’s slogan reads "People start people can stop it" We'concur in but we feel that toe accompanying campaign should not concentrate entirely upon litter People can also atop pollution by not producing so much trash' and by roducts mat minimise pollution in their production In bet KAB’s approach shifts public attention away from this real gut issue almost condoning toe wasteful practices by of our resources than ever before in our history While we need to increase our recycling efforts then is a more our consumption urgent need to habits We feel that the most fundamental kind of recycling is to purchase products that can be usediover and over again and products that can be produced without unnecessary waste of materials and energy An obvious form of waste is Packaging activity has grown at an alarming rate in recent yean Between 1963 and 1971 for example toe consumption of food in American increased per cent In toe same by a meager period however consumption food packaging increased a whopping 465 per centage over-packag- ing U cent In be areduction of 44 percent the beverage industry’s projected 1962 energy needs But what about file changeover?
