The Rural Voice, 2000-07, Page 27i soil, plants, animals and humans. Technology has allowed many advances in all sectors including agri- culture. However, people have become reliant on technology to pro- vide security against problems, said Caldwell. "People have to be proac- tiVe. We can't be so naive as to not test our water (assuming technology is looking after it)" Caldwell uses the example of hir- ing a contractor to drill a new well with the latest advances. "If it is not put in properly, it still can be open to contamination." "Generally we have taken our resources for granted because we have had an abundance. We drill a well and get water." Caldwell cites the perspective of settlers who first arrived in the province more than 150 years ago. "They began chopping down trees to clear farm land. Never was there a thought some municipalities would be left with only four per cent cover- age. It is the same with water. It has to be respected and protected." "Whether having the septic tank pumped out or planting a tree, you and I have to ha\ e an environmental conscience."0 BERNIE McGLYNN LUMBER LTD.
