"The current system punishes communities which make the investment in creating landfills, only to have them filled by states which refuse to adequately address their waste issues"

- Paul Gillmor

About this Quote

This quote by Paul Gillmor is referring to the existing system of waste management in the United States. It suggests that communities which buy creating land fills are being penalized because other states are sending their waste to these landfills, without taking responsibility for their own waste problems. This is developing an unreasonable burden on the neighborhoods that have purchased landfills, as they are now having to deal with the waste from other states. This quote is highlighting the requirement for states to take duty for their own waste concerns, rather than relying on other communities to look after their waste. It is also recommending that the present system of waste management is not working, and requires to be changed in order to make sure that neighborhoods are not unfairly punished for purchasing garbage dumps.
