Wednesday 1992 the HERALD Page 3B Environment Companies should also be aware of environmental responsibilities by Barbara Herald Special NASA has called for a BAN OF ALL OZONE CHEMICALS Tuesday February 4th the earned the story that the American Space agency while doing research with satellites and used to be known as high flight aircraft had discovered additional holes in the ozone and record high levels of chlorine monoxide Many people have tried to the problems of ozone deple tion or down play it One US senator is reported as saying that all a few extra ultra violet rays would mean is that people will have to wear sun hats and sun glasses I guess that as so often happens he had no grasp of the ecosystem and the damage that might occur to ocean plankton or our food crops However this might lead to a real business op portunity producing sun hats for plants Last year I wrote about Nor thern Telecom working to stop the use of formerly used as cleaning solvents Recently Nor them Telecom received an award for eliminating from its operations worldwide in In With POWER the latest edition of Dimensions the reporter Alison Piper tells how this company realizing the state of the ozone layer is actively sharing the new technology With the US Environmental on engineers the division will train Mexican engineers Mexico is planning to phase out by the year 2000 Unfortunately with the new in formation we have from NASA the targets will have to be drastically moved up Northern Telecom is also join ing with IBM and Motorola to hold six technical workshops in IBM has developed a new process at its plants in mont Quebec and New York to manufacture substrates the ceramic base for microchips without the use of IBM has plants in North Japan South America and Australia It plans to eliminate use on a worldwide basis by 1993 Ruth Oner must be applauded for requiring that the from car air conditioners must be cap and recycled 1 11 be telling you more about that program in a column in the future The bad news is that our pro tective ozone is in worse shape than thought The good news is that when companies get on track and really work to do the thing that they can not only be successful but show a profit Northern Telecom estimates that the new process will allow them to save million over the next eight years in solvents equipment and utilities costs YOU COMPANIES TOO A DIFFERENCE POWER urging to break new ground The following press release was Issued to the llalton Hills Herald by Barbara President of local environmental POWER Protect Our Water and Environment Resources Despite the nasty road tions on Friday January POWER made it through to deliver individual letters and two small petitions to the Ministry of the Environment The 17th was the final day of the public comment period for the Acton Quarry landfill proposal You may have seen the delivery as it was recorded by CFTO and AT SIX Because POWER was delayed in fie a strange situation developed at the ministry building POWER s news release had said a m and when the media couldn find any POWER representatives they went to the Minister s office Someone in the Minister s office decided that this delivery of letters posed a major threat and so sent a represen to the lobby to stop anyone from POWER from going upstairs When POWER did arrive a debate ensued in front of the TV cameras around who could and should have access to the Minister office POWER of fcred to only send one person up with the letters instead of three but this still did not sway the Ministers aide until Rita Landry pointed out that if a courier vice were to arrive with the let that thert would be no qms of Seeing the parent stupidity of thur position relented ill POWER President i to tarry tht letters The aide is it l aback both TV on to the with him ind Mrs Another curios event occurred at tht of Hit offices occupied by Crier when Ann Woodward ime to it ccpt the letters on behalf of the Minister who was away the door to the complex had to be unlocked to allow the letters inside Mrs Halsall was quoted as saying can imagine what they were ex peeling but I never thought that one women with a box of letters could be seen as threatening After listening to Mrs Halsall concerns including quotations from the Environmental Assess Act the letters were taken inside On May Noel Duignan had presented a petition to the legislature with over 12 signatures against the dump pro posal Before handing it in POWER made copies of the pages and laminated them into a stnp over feet long When they reached street level POWER took that strip and wrapped it around three sides of the environment building to sym bolize for the television cameras that it is time for Ruth Grier to wrap this up and cancel the pro While there are many ting opinions as to whether the current legislation gives the Minister that power there cer tainly are some lawyers and some officials at the En Assessment Board
