NATIONAL ENVIRONMENT WEEK is a time for all of us to realize that our common future depends on our environment; and our environment depends on us -"Our Common Future is In Our Hands!" Christian Corner ... by Rev. Marg West Last week we learned from the Bible how we should pray, "to the Father and always in Jesus name." In Matthew 5:44, Jesus is telling us to "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and to PRAY for them that despitefully use you and persecute you." Now that is a pretty big order, and it really is an order if you stop to look at it. Jesus is not asking us to love our enemies, Bless those that curse you and to pray for them that , despitefully. use you. He's telling telling us to do it, and it's for our own good when we do these things we are not harboring bitterness, hatred, resent fulness in our Spirits. If we dont' get rid of these things in our lives it can make us sick, physically as well as spiritually. Are any of us really capable of doing what Matt. 5:44 is telling us to do? How many of us are capable of loving our enemies and not only that but actually praying for them. I'll tell you it is impossible to do in the natural it is only possible through the Spirit of Odd. When we are Born Again we received the Spirit of God, making us capable of doing these things. Praise the Lord we serve a Good God, who only wants good things for His children.

(D.R.C.l.) by issuing â twelve month notice to end May 12, 1990. It is our understanding that this notice period will allow a review of existing services and various possible alternative systems designed designed to meet the Region's goal of 25 Vo waste reduction by 1993. . Durham Recycling has grown out of the efforts of area residents who, as much as fifteen years ago, were concerned about traditional methods of disposal and wanted to provide for themselves environmentally environmentally friendly alternatives to landfill and incineration. Volunteers led the way with drop off depots for the collection of waste materials for recycling. After years of education and promotion of these controversial controversial ideas, drop off depots led to curbside collection as a convenient alternative to garbage pickup. With traditional methods of waste disposal becoming increasing ly controversial, Durham Recycling began to work .co-operatively with the Region to establish recycling as an effective alternative to landfill by providing this essential service to all residents for an increasing number of materials. Currently D.R.C.L collects, processes processes and markets over 1300 tonnes of newspaper, glass, cans, plastics, cardboard and fine papers each month through collection from 9Q,000 blue recycling boxes, twenty • drop off depots and .400 schools and offices. More that forty driver, equipment operators and material handlers work to pick up, sort, bale and ship thosé materials to end use markets. Durham Recycling Centre Inc. is working actively to reach the 25 Vo waste reduction goal established by the Region of Durham through pilot projects in corrugated cardboard cardboard collection, multi family dwelling collection and mixed plastics collection and processing, as well as expanding diop of I drpoi sei viv.es and colled toils liotu com mercial industrial waste generators. With expanded processing capacity through an addition to the recycling facility now approved, these pilot projects will lead to full scale programs programs within the notice period moving moving the Region closer to its waste reduction goal. Durham Recycling has a long history of concern and involvement with the development of waste reduction and recycling services and is well respected throughout the industry industry for its efforts. Representatives Representatives from municipalities across Ontario, other Provinces and many States have visited our operation or called to request information to learn from our experience in the field. Durham Recycling has worked hard to develop waste reduction and recycling for the residents of the Region of Durham from the 1970's when this concept was unpopular unpopular to the present when it is one of the few disposal alternatives that • is supported by all levels of govern- . ment and residents. Should the Region decide, as the conclusion of their review process, to renegotiate our contract, we look forward to continuing to work with the Region to bring expanded recycling services to all its residents.
