n > Reader Promotes W.T.E. Technology To the Editor: For some years the disposal of solid solid wastes from Industrial, Commercial Commercial and Residential sources have been followed by many people. Over the years, despite advancing technologies, we have hardly varied our methods of disposal - we throw that which we cannot use into garbage garbage dumps. At this time in history, the Province Province of Ontario is urging us to follow the 3 R's - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Recycle. This program is to be commended, commended, but let's look at the total picture. As of the year 2000, regulations require require that the residue waste be no more than 50% of the total waste stream. Let's assess the 3 R's. 'Reduce' would only work by regulations, regulations, since any reduction in various various materials usage would result in more unemployment. 'Reuse' is a worthwhile approach if there is a market, or a taker for the material to be reused. 'Recycle' is ideal for many materials materials as long as the cost of recycling is not too high and the recycling process process is environmentally sound and clean. Somewhere in the process we have overlooked the fourth R - Recovery. Recovery. Recovery is the action of obtaining obtaining a product from the waste stream after fully exploiting the '3 R's'. Since this 50% residue referred to earlier must be disposed of, let's look at the two basic alternatives, Landfill and Waste to Energy (Recovery) (Recovery) W.T.E. Landfill is a very antiquated method method in this age of advanced knowledge and technical ability. Environmentally this material must not be put in the ground as it pollutes the countryside, pollutes the air and pollutes the groundwater. The wise method to handle this 50% after the three "'R's' is W.T.E. As it gets energy from a waste material, material, this energy can be in the form of GENERAL MANAGER Durham Farmer's County Co-operative based in Orono and Grafton, Ontario consisting of feed, crops, stores, petroleum products and farm supplies. , Reporting to the Board of Directors, the challenge for the General Manager is to achieve volume, growth, earnings and overall efficiency.

Existing W.T.E. plants emit far less contaminants to the environment than landfill. The main gas from landfill is Methane which is 25 times worse than Carbon Dioxide in regard to global warming. Also, there is no groundwater contamination from W.T.E. The bottom ash residue from W.T.E. can be used for building blocks or road base material. The fly ash that has the heavy metals can be refined for the contained metals. There are also many serious reservations reservations regarding municipal composting composting mainly related to odour, health problems and the disposal of the composted material. The best method would be to dry the wet stream of garbage and sewage sewage sludge and put it through a W.T.E. process. Finally, the Ministry of Environment Environment of Ontario published a booklet "The Case Against Municipal Solid Waste Incineration". This booklet has many misguided comments that have no weight of evidence backed by scientific scientific modem methods and modem state of the art 'Waste to Energy' plants. It is very unfortunate that the Ministry Ministry of the Environment is misleading misleading the public of Ontario regarding the disposal of our Industrial, Commercial Commercial and Household Wastes.

Apology in Order Dear Mr. Rae: I understand from CBC radio that you currently have a job opportunity which specifically excludes white males. My god, has your (our!!!) government taken leave of its senses? I'm writing this letter in capitals because I am too upset to think in small letters!!! In one step you have set this country country back at least 50 years!!! Our country is supposed to be setting an example for other countries with racist racist policies! We are fighting all forms of discrimination while you are creating more! May I remind you of the goal of Canada - that a person should have an equal place in our society regardless regardless of race, religion, sex - do you know what that means? That means that a person should be hired because they arc qualified and well suited to a job - and that's it! If your staff is discriminating discriminating against applicants, then you should punish your staff, not the whole population!!! By adopting a policy of discrimination discrimination you hurt everyone: • white males know that no matter how hard they work, they cannot get a job with you because of matters beyond beyond their control • and the people you actually hire have the privilege of knowing that they got hired because of their colour or sex, and not because they arc really really good at what they do (demeaning, eh?) I would be more than pleased to spend my days fighting racist policies like these. This is a blatant infringement infringement of every Canadian's rights under under the charter! ! ! You should be ashamed of yourself. A huge apology is in order and a commitment to fairness must be made.
