Well that's a relief, Lord. We passed the environmental audit again. Gas emissions held down, and no containment leaks. Perhaps lucky; more likely sound plant management. I should pass on a word of appreciation Because it impacts on the breadth of our business. Care for the environment basically seems straight forward, Although I sense some hidden agendas sometimes. There are some political drivers, And people with potential commercial gain, But most folk seem sincere. Usually the problem is that individuals get a fixation on one variable When the real problem is multifactorial. I need to try and understand the real need. How do I get it right, Lord? "My son, be honest, [1] open, preventive and proactive. Most people will only react to a problem. You must lead by example, Remember the lesson from my word. Cast your bread upon the waters And it will come back to you." [2] 1. Proverbs 24 v 26. 2. Ecclesiastes 11 v 1. Copyright Howard Smith 2002. All Rights reserved.
