Barbara Armitage: Recycling is step toward controlling landfills Funny how things change. Now they are getting into more Adair Countians backyards; now they care. A simple start to end the problem: The 3R's, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle About: Opposition to Flatwoods landfill Funny how quickly things can change. A year or so ago I had the privilege to speak with a group of concerned citizens about the need to recycle. Many of the group were already involved in reducing their waste and were looking for more ways to reduce the need for landfills. There was one person who still stands out in my mind. When I asked the question "do you know where our landfill is"? the reply was "as long as it's not in my backyard I don''t care. I can't count the number of times I've heard this comment. Now that our backyard is being threatened with a landfill the reality of the situation hits home. Nearly 90% of everything that is currently being dumped in a landfill doesn''t have to be there. Do the math - if you don't want a landfill don't throw the stuff away in the first place. The answer is simple, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. This is not rocket science.
