by Jean Jeffery The Fall Rally at the home of Gerald and Nancy Hill was well attended and everyone reported a good time was had by all. I saw the first load of children going for their hayride at four o'clock. On Sunday there was a good congregation and all were pleas- ed to have Rev. Nancy Waterman with us. Also we were pleased to have Nancy Hill take over as Sun- * day School Superintendant. After church many stayed to enjoy muf-- fins and a cup of coffee. Sunday School and Church next Sunday will be at Utica at 11:15 a.m. The children will go direct- Environmentally Speaking EE EE EEE IT TI I) rT "You can do four things with garbage: burn it, bury it, recy- cle it or send it on a Caribbean cruise," says New York Mayor Ed Koch. The first two options create pollution, directly or indi- rectly, the later is very expensive and socially unacceptable - that only leaves us with recycling (and her sisters reduction and reuse). _ Plastic is a great material. Virtually indestructibe, inex- pensive, light, non-degradable and designed to last for centu- ries. That also makes disposal of plastic a great problem. Since science developed many different forms of plastic out of petrochemicals, polystyrene has crept into many cor- ners of our lives, even becoming hidden in our cars, buildings and foods. i As people have become more conscious of the potential garbage crisis looming on the horizon, the invasion of plastic is being rethought and alternatives are being sought for. Simply returning to paper bags and paper based packaging is not a perfect solution. Bleached paper products take decades to breakdown acceptably, more when sealed in a sanitary landfill. Many governments have realized that plastic bags and packaging are an unecessary source of environmental con- tamination. The European Economic Community has called for a ban on all plastic bags by 1991. Munich, Germany has begun to tax packaging. Many other municipalities are begin- _- ning to reward recycling efforts and punish those who do not. Ontario may soon follow. Personal efforts to reduce the plastic bag problem might include asking for a paper bag at the store (if they don't carry them they will probably begin to when enough people ask). Bring your own paper bag when you go shopping, or reuse your old plastic ones. Return your plastic bags to the store which supplied them. Carry a backpack or handbag designed to store your purchases without requiring additional packaging.
