Recent letters to the editor of The Swarthmorean regarding the waste-to-energy plant run by Covanta in Chester appear to have veered into the realm of propaganda rather than actual fact.
Correction: Where the Covanta plant is
In my letter to the editor (April 2), titled “What’s wrong with Swarthmore’s Zero Waste resolution,” I inaccurately located the Covanta plant in the wrong place: on the north side of Interstate Route 95, which is far from its actual location on Highland Avenue.
What’s wrong with Swarthmore’s Zero Waste Resolution
I think the passage of Swarthmore’s Zero Waste Resolution was ill advised. I also think that the Swarthmorean’s article reporting on this resolution (March 19) was not effective journalism.
