Page I THE HERALD Wednesday July Energy savings Scouts tram Acton Georgetown and Narval boarded a bus at the parking lot Thursday for a trip lo the In Calgary The men Stout at the Alberta Jamboree features every activity imaginable and plenty opportunities lo team The boys return this weekend By undcfstnnUing basic aspects of some of the systems at brk our we arc able to work toward resolving the problems affecting our way or life Two of the systems that can be understood and managed more efficiently are energy flow and the nutrient cycle An under standing and practical cation of some fundamentals of these systems will result In energy savings a goal we work toward every day The sketch provided below simply illustrates the flow energy and cycling of nutrient through an eco system that could very well represent a garden or a regional watershed It shows how the two systems are constantly interacting resulting in presence and growth of living things in our environment Producers such as green plants trap the radiant oner of the sun and transform it into a chemical form of energy that can be used by consumer organisms eg vert bra test Some chemical energy not used by cons urn is eventually passed on to decomposers bacteria What must be understood is that whenever energy is ENVIRONMENT HALTON Understanding some basics can help us solve many common problems used it is lost forever and whatever amount is left Is always less than the amount received in the beginning The system is open or cyclic The typical energy low through an ecosystem is represented by the broken arrows on the sketch Nutrients arc essential to living things for enabling the conversion of food to energy Although this cycle is closed solid arrow on the sketch nutrients can be lost lo the system for long periods of time before returning for wo once again Radiant Energy I Nutrients are lost Tram each component of the btotlc community as well as along the rood chain represented by the Producer Consumer Decomposer relationship With this into two systems of our environment lands can be more efficiently managed whether they are small urban lots or large acreages in the countryside All land which has not been built upon or artificially surfaced is capable of produ useable energy and nutrients essential to chain By failing to manage ENERGY FLOW One way system broken arrow CYCLE recycled over time solid PRODUCERS DECOMPOSERS Chemical Energy land for optimum energy flow and nutrient cycling energy is not being ed It is poss ible to conserve energy at the consumer and producer stages of the food chain Proper siting of tho compo nents of newly created lots or subdivisions contributes to a efficient flow of energy and the ability for nutrients to remain within eco system Providing for the existence of producers and easy reception of radiant energy la the action Implied by the sketch The use of compost bins on small Iota and the return of organic matter to the soil on larger lots assists in the conservation of energy and nutrients Understanding that energy Is lost at each stage of the food chain unnecessary losses can bo avoided for example by returning organic matter to thefood producing soil which is often as kitchen garbage lawns gardens and wast nutrients that arc washed away and lost in the menls of streams ponds and lakes for many lifetimes before returning to the food chain The costs of replacing some types of nutrient is ever increasing as Ihe search for supplies becomes more cost The search Itself is a heavy user of energy Fertilizer should be added in quantities needed by plants being fertilized at times of the growing season when plants are able to use nutrient without substan tial wastage Our quality of life can be efficiently improved without great financial burdens if some basic aspects of how our environment works Is understood With some fundamental of only two of the many systems existing environment it has been showi how oner ran and
