Letter To The
Editor
Dear Editor:
It is a rare event that prompts me to write a
Letter to the Editor. But, the recent (December 29, 2010) article
entitled “Gilmanton Recycling Pays…Santa’s Elves Deliver” compels me to do
so.
Specifically, I want to commend not only the article’s author but also its
publisher for recognizing productive action not by a particular individual
or organization but by a community. Such public recognition is too
rare. It’s only through recognition of such positive public action
with its financial payoff that even greater recycling success is likely to
be achieved. Behavior that is recognized and rewarded
is repeated. Thank you!
