Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS we recognize the large amount of solid waste generated by
disposables and throw-aways; and

aways and disposables has as yet been developed and suitable land for solid waste
disposal sites is fast disappearing;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Board go on record in favor
of banning all throw-away bottles, cans and other disposable products that are
not absolutely necessary for medical and hospital uses.
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
