Dairy Industry and Environmental Waste¹

Evaporated Milk Association, Washington, D.C.

ABSTRACT

For many years government at all levels has been concerned about environmental waste problems. Since the early part of this century attention has been given, with varying emphasis, to water pollution problems. For the past decade government, at all levels, has devoted attention to air pollution and solid waste disposal.

Traditionally, these problems have been handled at the state and local level. But in recent years the expanding population of the United States, coupled with the increasing industrialization, has given a new dimension to the problem. The 89th Congress, representing the American people, made it clear that now is the time to plan creatively to shape the new world in which we will live. The 90th Congress continues to share this same concern.

Federal Legislation

After bitter debate over Federal Centralization versus States Rights philosophies, it is quite clear that the Federal Government will in the future exert pressure in directing the future insofar as environmental pollution control problems are concerned.
