Extract

The quality of our environment is of great concern in our society today. Hence, we are personally and academically concerned. One general topic is directed toward “The Economics of Pollution Control.” I much prefer to approach this subject from the point of view of the optimist and define our orientation as that of opportunity and positive attitude toward our environment. Thus, we approach the subject in terms of the quality of our environment, rather than in terms of pollution control. The shock effects, from discussing pollution, have registered with most of us so we can proceed with the opportunity to improve the quality of our environment.
