Even today, when we use electricity, the population density is still too low and Vermont is too removed from commerce centers to make use of large amounts of fossil fuel. Vermont's Environment Jessie Dall Vermont is the state with the lowest percentage of industry in the United States. We also throw out toxic chemicals. Vermonters spend 60 million dollars a year for disposal of solid waste and 74 million for disposal of hazardous waste. Our trash also goes in landfills.
Landfills can destroy and pollute our state.
Yet our landfills have decreased in numbers. There are fewer landfills then a decade ago. We can help the environment with the pollution prevention plan. Many other businesses have tried using natural energy and non-toxic resources. If we can keep this up our state we will keep being healthy and clean.
