_ We can have a strong, thriving economy without the excesses of the boom and bust cycles be encouraging value, pride of workmanship, quality, longevity and service. _ The consumer becomes a good manager of resources rather than letâ€" ting products slip through his fingers on the way to the landfill like grease Some politicians and business leaders call for "stimulating the econâ€" omy" and "restoring consumer confiâ€" dence" with the determination of an alcoholic reaching for another drink. This desire for a quick fix solution ignores the long term cause. When you hear someone who demands a government stimulus to increase buying, imagine that person crying "More Alcohol," and the tragedy of their position becomes clear. We all know someone who is out of work and someone else who is worried about being out of work. An economy based on increasing conâ€" sumption promotes greed and waste, a growing gap between rich and poor, lost dreams and lost lives. _ Reduce is the hardest because our economic system is built on increasâ€" ing consumption â€" buying, using, disâ€" carding, then buying again. In boom times our economic system takes a terrific toll on our natural resources. In bust times, like now, this economic system takes a terrific toll on us. Reduce! Not the dietâ€"conscious *80s most important of Recvcle. Unfortunately, even during Environment Week, reduce is the one that gets forgotten. If we could reduce our consumption, our resources would last longer, our waste manageâ€" ment problems would grow smaller, and the requirement to reuse and recycle would diminish.

Just the dry stuff, all the nonâ€" meat and nonâ€"dairy products could be composted and we can let the neighâ€" borhood cats fight over the chicken bones. This is a great family project, trust me, you will have no trouble getâ€" ting the kids involved. Once sorted, stand back and ask yourself what you would do if there no magic hungry garbage truck or Blue Box to eat your waste every week or two. As a meaâ€" sure of how much you throw out, could you reduce your waste to the amount you could conveniently store for six months? 2)Take the long view. The United Nations reports that if you eat food that is out of season (lettuce in the winter, for instance) and our own more than one pair of shoes, you are in the top 10% of the world‘s populaâ€" tion. How much is enough for us? 4)Shop with an eye to reducing your waste. Hand the packaging back to the store clerk after you‘ve paid for your items. I can‘t yet figure out why coconuts need to be wrapped in celloâ€" phane. When the store has to pay for disposal, they will be more careful about stocking overâ€"packaged items. through the goose. What we can do? 1) Perhaps stepping outside the system for a moment can help. Has consumption really made us happier? Do we complain about our children not respecting the value of anything while on our way out to replace our latest "disposable" product? 5) Buy in bulk.

By necessity they develâ€" oped a sense of pride in being able to repair and maintain. Too often, we measure ourselves by how much we can afford to waste. We have disposâ€" able cars, disposable cameras, disposâ€" able diapers, disposable lives. 7) Educate your children. Expecting them to help pay for the items they desire from their allowance will teach them to be careâ€" ful shoppers. Ask them to be junkâ€" monitors (they‘ll love it) to alert you to shopping addictions. 8) Phone your Oakville containers to places like Hopedale Hardware; Oaktown Supply; Kea; Alternatives Natural Food Market; Bulk Foodland in Burlington (I‘m sure I‘ll hear of many others).
