EDITOR—I have been disturbed by the rising levels of environment degradation, especially swamp reclamation. A case in point is the area opposite Kawanda Agricultural Research Laboratories.

Almost the whole area is being drained and filled with soil in order to facilitate the construction and expansion of the veterans’ market! I fear that with this trend, our climate will get worse in a few years to come. Ironically, most of the produce in the veterans’ market is agricultural yet it is they busy destroying swamps!
