Energy Action Is Supported By Environmental Groups Georgetown Pollution Probe and GUAfcD Group United Against Rural Dumping Township are among Individuals and group a list of IS things It is argued government can do to alleviate the energy crisis Statement of support was made just prior to federal announcement of an energy policy But environmentalists complain that government tends to regard the crisis In energy as a short term problem Donald Chant head of the deportment of zoology University of Toronto and president of Pollution Probe Foundation says we cannot afford to go on wasting energy we seem to forget that these energy resources are limited and that the faster we use Ihcm the sooner they will run out The Item list is composed of eight categories Heading the list Is building and construction Energy construction and design should emphasize energy conservation ana efficiency It is stated Other categories are tran reuse and recycling of materials quality goods energy costs advertising research and long term planning The last item calls for government policy aimed at curbing per capita consumption ensure that energy con sumption will stabilize CONSTRUCTION Building codes should be upgraded to require better insulation in homes opart merits commercial and office buildings and to require storm or double glazing Discourage the Installation of heat from light systems Contrary to popular belief this Is a wasteful use of energy Promote total energy systems for office buildings and large complexes TRANSPORTATION Transportation accounts for one quarter of energy con sumption three quarters used by the automobile Planes care and trucks the most common form of transport are also the mosl inefficient The price the consumer pays for each type of transportation better reflect the Irue social economic and environmental costs to society Set subsidies to favor and promote urban transit buses subways streetcars commuter trains Construct bicycle pathways Discourage the use of cars in downtown areas by creating peripheral parking lots for park and ride hemes con rolling the amount location price of downtown parking promoting pedestrian malls and Introducing busonly lanes Stagger working hours to achieve more efficient use of public transit facilities Encourage decentralisation of offices to suburban centres so that people dont haie to travel for to work Improve and promote high speed train travel between cities or both people and freight Discourage Inefficient truck car and plane transport Discourage new expressways and airports Put a special tax on large new cars establish levels for such things as weight horsepower and engine displacement new cars that exceed these levels should be surtaxed Enact standards- that would force car manufacturers to redesign engines to achieve both nigh mileage and low pollution emissions RECYCLING Products and packages used again and again such as beer bottles and milk jugs require far less energy than single use products designed to be thrown away Manufacturing products from recycled materials In the sense of waste paper or reclaimed metals require less energy than making them from virgin resources and at the same lime conserves those limited resources Ban disposable soft drink cans and bottles save energy Legislate against over packaging In order to conserve resources and energy Provide more money and technical help for municipal reclamation and recycling plants Long term commitments to and incineration of garbage that jeopardize recycling must not be allowed Moke It pay to recycle Establish economic Incentives that make recycling resources more attractive ton for ton than virgin resource extraction Set freight rates so that recycled materials can be moved more cheaply than virgin materials Currently the reverse Is true Greater use of recycled materials in new products must be ensured by standards that set minimum content levels Raise these standards over a period of time QUALITY GOODS Durable and repairable goods last longer and save the energy that would be needed to replace snorter life versions The result or Improved durability and repairabllity is better quality which is of benefit to the con and energy reserves A consumer product review board should be established to approve new products on the basis of their energy con sumption and environmental Impact both In manufacture and during consumer use For Instance criteria tor product approval should require that products be made from readily recyclable materials promote durability and for example through warranties and discourage designed obsolescence Rapid turnover wastes energy and resources and encourage products made of natural renewable resources rather than synthetics and plastics that derive from limited resources and require high energy production processes power consumption and energy efficiency to be shown on all electrical ap pliances ENERGY COSTS All energy prices should reflect the true costs of ex traction transportation conversion and use Including the environmental and social coats Pollution environmental degradation and energy waste are the current consequences of Ignoring these costs Power and gas rate struc tures which reward large users with lower prices must be eliminated These cheap rates encourage overconsumption Phase out special low hydro rates for houses that use electric space and water heating ADVERTISING Advertising by energy companies and utilities which promotes energy consumption must be eliminated Con and efficient use must be stressed RESEARCH Governments should designate those priority areas where Increased energy ef ficiency can be achieved through further research For example the development of renewable energy sources as well as increasing the ef ficiency of generators motors and appliances LONGTERM PLANS The government must adopt a policy aimed at levelling off the per capita consumption of energy This combined with a policy of population stabilization will eventually ensure that Canadas energy consumption will stabilize and that the nation will derive the greatest benefit from limited energy resources Press Barred From
