Toxic waste belongs at home

I am shocked to read the Opinion page article "Break the Toxic Waste Habit," Aug. 2. Hooray for Honduras and the other Central American nations that have banned the import of toxic wastes!

If we are the most powerful nation in the world, let's set an example. Edith C. Smith, Erwinna, Pa.
