Vigorito Backs Recycling Legislation in Congress
ERIE Congressman Joseph P. Vigorito joined in introducing the Resource Recycling and Conservation Act of 1973 in the U S House. He co sponsored the measure to boost use of reclaimable waste and create incentives to conserve energy while increasing demand and supplies of recycled materials. The Erie representative noted waste recovery still covers only a small share of national material and energy needs as consumption grows. A key feature is incentives to conserve energy use through recycled inputs.
