STUDENTS' VIEWS 'Jauses of pollutio Environment. You couldn't open a newspaper, watch the news or read a nagazine without encountering this erm. lt was one of the most contro- 'ersial topics in America yet it was 'irtually impossible to find any pro- bollutionists. The controversy was over he causes and solutions to the problem. 'Vhen asked about the causes of pol- ution, Margaret Knight, president of Bahuaro's environmental action group, Laid, One major cause is apathy: when he apathy is gone, we can do anything. Bhe added, People have to be willing o make sacrifices or nothing will work. freshman Sioux Hallier stated, The :ause of pollution, basically is laziness. Deople just do not want to take time out ind clean up the mess they create. : laziness, apathy Many people felt the solution to the problem is population control. Population causes pollution. If we do not control population, we're just bur- dening ourselves with a larger job of pollution, stated Lewis Feldman. l think that population control is neces- sary to avoid widespread famine and pollution, said Doug Barnett. Sophomore Homer Pettey brought the situation closer to Sahuaro when he said, People are such slobs. They'll be ten feet from a trash can and drop something on the ground. I wish the students would care more. As to the actual cause of pollution, most of the students were divided into two major groups. The largest polluters in Arizona are automobiles, commented Gary Freed. Auto emmissions cause 9O'Zi of pol- lution, added Scott Mayfield. Others thought differently. Dusty Post stated, I think the worst polluters are the copper smelters. The factories contribute most to the pollution in the United States, observed Pam Williams. Through the efforts of environmental action and homeroom federation, trash clean-up days were organized both on campus and surrounding areas such as Sabino Canyon and along Camino Seco. Several junior high and elementary schools also had clean-up campaigns this year. STU DE NT LIFE 19
