Letter to the Editor Dear Roy: Each of us as consumers has great responsibility for the garbage crisis. Not only does "waste management" cost us large sums of tax dollars today, but the long-term costs of the enormous garbage dumnps littering the countryside and leaching into the groundwater shahl cost us a great deal more in the foreseeable future. Products disposed of by your average household include high percentages of toxic hazardous waste. We neyer really think of this when we throw them away - "out of sight, out of mind." We have come a long way in the past few years. Public awareness of environmental issues is at its highest level ever. Public interest (which generates -public participation) is unprecedented. Evidence of this is seen in the highly successful rate of waste reduction through our recycl- ing effor ts. However, there is a sim- ple hierarchy of waste management -REDUCE, RE-USE, RECYCLE - or, REFUSE items that do not con- tribute to the overall goal to REDLJCE whenever possible. Recycling is great, but it's flot the entire solution, nor the primary solution. With an objective to reduce the kinds of items going into garbage dumps and the volume of waste travelling down our country roads to the dumps, the local Port Granby-Newcastle Environment Committee and Committee of Clarke Constituents (with support from both the Town and the Region> are sponsoring a 'COM- MUNITY WASTE EXCHANGE DAY" to be held on Sunday, June 10, 1990 at the Bowmanville Mal (9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.). This pro- ject is part of our annualcommuni- ty National Environment Week ac- tivities and includes some of the f'ollowing efforts: tire collection (passenger car and truck only); (un- contantinated) used nmotor oil; scrap inetal; passenger car and truck batteries; environment infor- mation booth; envirofiment alter- native products, large communit y junk swap (ie. yard sale). This pro ject is being hosted for Town of Newcastle residents. There shall be limits on the volume of waste Ieft at the Waste Exchange (ie.> 4 tires per family). The commit- tees reserve the right to refuse items. Space for the "Junk Swap" is limited, and must be reserved. The Toxic Taxi from the Region shahl be on hand to provide infor- mation to area residents regarding the toxic home collection (now be- ing tested in Uxbridge). PLEASE LOOK FOR AD IN LOCAL PAPERS on WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 1990 for complete details. In the meantime, area residents might wish to mark their calendars now to set aside the date for par- ticipation in the Waste Exchange Day. It shail be an ideal opportuni- ty to do some spring cleaning, or just come to see what helpful items individuals could pick up ai the Waste Exchange. For those who are looking for specific information on alternative household cleaners, composting, etc. - this information shahl be available. Thank you, Roy, for allowing me the space to inform area residents of this very worthwhile community projeci. In this community there are many interested and dedicated in- dividuals committed to being pro- active in this current trend called ".environmentalism". As a reminder: "IF YOU'RE NOT PART 0F THE 'SOLUTION, YOU'RE PART 0FTI-E PRO- BLEM!" Hope to see your readers at the "Waste Exchange Day!" Sincerely, (Mrs.) Helen MacDonald PRIN TING ORONO TIMES 983-5301 The real mark of excellence hy Gordon Milis, Orono The World Cup of Soccer gets under way on June th. Before a bail is kicked we have a 'tempest in a teapot' over ail things - sex. It seems that the coach of the Italian teamn has told aIl his players to refrain from sex from the start of the competition untîl it ends. Coach Vicini of the Italian teain is of the opinion that without sex his players will perform that much bet- ter ! Ex Toronto Maple Leaf coach John Brophy was asked if had ever imposed similar conditions upon his players. Brophy's only rule ap- parently was no sex allowed on the beinch. The famous Dr. Ruth, neyer at a loss for words about sex saîd that she would tlike to have words with Coach Vicini right away. Heaven fgrbid if the craze spreads, say to the line workers at GM:, Perhaps the car ad's would read like, 'Chastity Chev's - The real mark of Excellence', Ah Wvell we will jujst have to wait and see if it catches on or not - Don't hold youir breath ! - You may just explode, and before the World Cup starts - like the ltalian players.
