From Mom, Dad and Sis Waste Reduction Week Try«M for a Zero Happy l6th Birthday Happy SOth Birthday Pappy Garbages Communities across Ontario are recognizing the Recycling Council of Ontario's (RCO) ninth annual Waste Reduction Week (WRW), October 4 -10. The RCO wants to make Ontarians aware of the broader economic and environmental benefits associated with the 3Rs, --- reduction, reuse and recycling. "Many people practise the 3Rs because they know waste reduction makes good environmental sense. During Waste Reducing Week '93, we want people to look beyond the Blue Box and think about the broader benefits that corne from waste reduction," says John Hanson, RCO's Executive Director. Based on a 1988 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study, the RCO estimates that for every bag of household garbage we create, there is an additional 71 bags of highly polluting processing wastes such as mine tailing, industrial sludge and slag produced. "By reducing household waste, we avoid primai-y resource extraction and processing, thereby re ducing air and water pollution," Hanson explains. The RCO points out that waste reduction can also save consumers money.

By choosing products with minimal packaging, you dut down on waste and save some money." Choosing less wasteful packaging is just one step i the process of waste reduction. "Induslry has an important role to play in the process. It must introduce more recyclable and reusable products and packaging while phasing out disposables," sa ys Hanson. Waste Reduction Week is an annual province-wide campaign of the RCO to, encourage individuals, industry and governiment to mntensify their 3Rs efforts. Each day of the Week features a specific kind of reduction on which municipalities and community groups base their local prograras. One of the highlights is ZERO GARBAGE Day on Wednesday, when the challenge is to create no garbage at ail that day. Other days feature overall reduction, composting, conservation of energy, water and other resources, and reusing and exchanging items for a second life.
