November 20 to 26 is Recycling Week in Ontario. The theme this year is "Changing Attitudes: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle". Sponsored by The RCO, the purpose of Recycling Week is to "encourage people to assume on-going personal responsibility for the environment by reducing, reusing, and recycling waste". Every municipality in Ontario is being asked to participate, and to plan events that will encourage public awareness and participation. For the second year, Helen MacDonald and Suzanne Elston are acting as Recycling Week Coordinators tor the Town ot Newcastle. They have planned a variety of activities for this week, including a special children's event at the Bowmanville Branch of the Newcastle Library this Saturday. Read this page to find out more about what you can do to join in!! ISN'T THE BLUE PROGRAM DOING THE JOB?? Although the "Blue Box" program has been Very successful, recycling presents only part of the solution to our current garbage crisis. In Durham Region, where the majority of homes now have curbside recycling, the program has only reduced the volume of residential garbage by 14%. However, this only translates into a total reduction of 5%, since 60 to 70% of Durham's garbage comes from the commercial/industrial sector. Both provincial and regional governments have made a commitment to reduce the volume of garbage going to Ontario's landfills by 25% by the year 1992, so we still have a long way to go. "Canadians are the most wasteful people on earth, düe largely to a constant barrage of advertising images pressuring them to consume, consume, consume, with no regard for the environmental consequences of their actions", stated John Hanson, Executive Director of Recycling Council of Ontario (RCO). Unfortunately this consumer binge has resulted in a garbage crisis afflicting the entire Western World. Continues John Hanson, "but this problem can be solved if everyone makes a conscious effort to take individual responsibility for minimizing waste through the 3 R's -A reduce, reuse, recycle. It's time people stopped looking to others to do something about the state of the environment - and examine their day to day behavior. Anyone who is not actively contributing to the solution, is definitely still part of the problem, and that solution goes well beyond just recycling." The RCO provides some alarming statistics in its brochure WASTING LESS -- A CONSUMER'S GUIDE: -- Ontario residents throw away 7 million tons of garbage each year -- 20% of the food that we buy ends up in the garbage . --r households make up the largest single group of hazardous waste generators in Canada • packaging accounts for 35 to 50% oi residential garbage, by volume - WHAT YOU DO CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!! According to the RCO, by changing our individual consumer-habits, we can significantly reduce the volume of our garbage: -- Be a constructive nuisance- refuse to purchase heavily packaged products, and then write the manufacturers and let them know why. -- Start a coiîipost heap and reduce your household garbage by one-third. -- -Buy, re tillable containers whenever possible, Prince Edward Island couldn't handle the amount of beer and pop cans coming to the island, so they banned then -- in 1984 -- and eliminated 6 million cans from the waste stream. -- Take your own bags when you go shopping. . -- Buy fruits and vegetables in bulk, rather than covered in plastic, and'neatly displayed on plastic trays.. -- Don't throw it out, repair it, whenever possible. -- Donate good used clothing, furniture, and household appliances to charitable organizations yich as Goodwill, Salvation Army, and shelters for the homeless. -- Buy only what you require. We have become a society based on greed, not need. -- Get involved in your community. The G.O.O.D. Committee, a local citizens' group, is dedicated to reducing garbage in our community. They meet on the third Monday of every month, at 7:30 p.m., in Courtroom No. 2", at the New Fireball. F6r further information contact John Vetdhuis. 263-2783. FIND OUT MORE!!
