He was able to keep that commitment, which I was really glad to see. |
It is a powerful document. |
It took me forever to get him up on the stage. He's very bashful. |
It's a lot of stuff. People ask us what kind of model are we following. There is no model. We're creating one. There's never been anything of this magnitude. ... We've got 9,000 square miles of destruction. |
It's not about capacity, it's about processing ability. We still have, roughly, 12 million cubic yards of debris and that's all demolition debris. Again, I've done numbers; I've looked at the numbers. With one facility you're looking at three years of disposal time. With two facilities that cuts down to about one year. So we have a responsibility. |
People are looking for a way to take action, to do something other than donate on the Turnpike on their way to work, which seems impersonal. |

We calculated that there's as much as 5 million gallons of that particular waste stream. |
We don't want to create future environmental problems by trying to solve this one. |
We recognize that tuition over time has increased pretty significantly. |
We're exploring all sorts of options for waste. There's so much of it. |
