I say that we have a responsibility to preserve a clean and safe world full of choices for our children, Let's not let guilt- inducing statements about jobs for our kids stampede us into accepting this mill without seriously assessing all the costs. Orenda’s is not the only way, unless sinking $360 million into a tiny mill that will produce only 140 jobs -just half of those earmarked _ for local residents — strikes vironment. The only way that this mill will be cleaner than what we have now isif it replaces a kraft mill. The choice before us is not bet- ween a kraft mill and a zero effluent {but not zero waste) mill; it is between ‘an in- dustrial corridor and a highly productive growing site in which we already have a substantial ‘silvicultural in-_ vestment, It is a choice that should harmonize with the. fact that Lakelse is the only warm-water recreational lake — ~- Charity begins at home : Mark Butaine have done. ’ Perhaps many of us. will : begin with financial dona- ‘ tions and tentative offers of : friendship.
