“Transitioning to environmental stewardship was an easy move from hazardous material response. Many of our synthetic products when left to break down in the environment are just as damaging to the planet if not contained, collected, and removed as is in a sudden hazardous material release.  With environmental stewardship we have more time to respond to problems, but we still need to take action .”
