As a New Hampshire resident I Support HB1138. I am a cyclist, hiker, paddler, skier, camper and so much more. I highly value our beautiful, natural environments and we must do everything we can to not only limit the amount of trash we dump in our landfills, we need to significantly reduce that tonnage. Not only do I support HB1138 in limiting the amount of out-of-state trash, I think we should be actively reducing the size and number of landfills currently operating. Less trash – more nature!
