I have lived in Chickasha, OK for about 5 years now and find the same thing over here. A lot of people in this part of the world seem to make it a point to be strongly anti green. That said, I wish there was a way to set up some kind of recycle program/public composting program down here or if there is something going on outside the critical Okie eye find out more so I can get involved. If I had the $$$ I would get something started myself but that is not the case. Anyway, I think the first thing that needs to happen in OK is to start changing minds.

Have you considered starting your own recycling company? I know that there are many avenues to secure at least some income as a result of getting people interested in your ideas.

Aluminum cans-aluminum smelters, scrap steel and ferrous materials-raw metal companies, plastic bottles-carpet companies, paper-paper companies, and even kitchen grease for biodeisel.

Just a thought.

I would continue to communicate to others and get them to write the mayor as well. Start your own grass roots movement. Also, it is spelled "aquifer". So make sure if you are communicating by writing to others you have it spelled correctly or they will not take you seriously.
