In the 1970's, few seemed to care about the environmental problems
caused by population growth. However, some insightful folks anticipated
the problems and began to work on solutions for the impending doom.
These folks created and operated a recycling outfit and made it easy for
the population to do the right thing: recycle. Still, some folks were
downright insistent that *they* weren't going to recycle, and that they
were going to throw newspaper in the trash and old oil down the sewer.
Eventually, these folks were not allow to dump their waste in the community
landfill and were force to sit in their own stink.
Appropo of nothing. Just a story I remember hearing as a kid.
