The Citizen, 1990-12-18, Page 3THE CITIZEN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1990. PAGE 3. Blyth council saves paper by not supportiny waste resolution NOTICE - Library donation Blyth Reeve Albert Wasson (right) accepts a cheque from Janice Henry of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Blyth Legion. The $5,000 gift to the village will help with the renovations needed to turn the north wing of Memorial Hall (background) into the new Blyth Library. Work is expected to begin soon on the project. Blyth Council did its bit for ; conservation of paper at its Dec. 12 i meeting by not supporting a resolu- i tion to cut down on waste. Councillors agreed with the sen­ timents expressed in the resolution ' circulated from the Township of ( Himsworth near Callander but decided it would be a waste of time to support the resolution and send • it on to Ontario Environment Minister Ruth Grier. “It’s like motherhood,” Reeve Albert Was­ son said of the resolution.1 “We’re not going to start send­ ing letters here and there and everywhere,” Councillor Dave Lee said. “What’s the point of it.” The resolution called for the increase of the deposit on refillable containers between 30 and 50 per cent to ensure more were returned; a reduction or banning of non-re- fundable containers; provide incen­ tives for service stations to dis­ pense bulk washer fluid and radia­ tor anti-freeze; abolish shrink wrap and encourage manufacturers to use environmentally friendly pro­ ducts. “All five points are excellent,” Councillor Steven Sparling said, especially the one on packaging which he said is out of control. Council decided, however, to take no action on the resolution.
