Leaders with vision
My heart goes out to the Foxton people trying to stop the PN Council from dumping treated sewage into the Manawatu River (story in today's Chronicle) and to the Hokio people trying to get the HDC to stop dumping treated sewage into what what was once a beautiful little lake (The Pot) and is now a toxic site from which the public are banned. Can someone tell me why, why, why can't every home have a modern septic tank system! Think of the massive amounts of money we would save? When the tank needed emptying it could be taken to some place that converted sewage into fertiliser (this is done in other countries) and used in a beneficial way for the environment. Why do councils keep throwing massive amounts of our taxpayers money at the problem and not at innovative solutions for the future well-being of people and the planet? I don't recall giving my consent to the people I voted for to do this with the money I give them. Did you?
