Jack's Jottings Jack Riddell MPP Huron ^ 1 . .From Queen's Park Provincial plan targets of 50 percent recycling by 2000 . By the year 2000, 50 percent of Ontario's household and commer- cial -industrial waste will be diverted to constructive uses. The gov- ernment will take a leading role in practicing the 4Rs of waste: reuse, recycling, reduction and recovery. Environment Minister Jim Bradley called on all Ontarians to chal- lenge and "use Qur ingenuity to turn our throw -away society into an environmentally sustainable society." Huron citizens too •are concerned about our throw away habits, which are quickly filling up our landfill sites; This necessitates ex- tensive environmental studies for new sites, and points out the need for more reduction and recycling. According to Bradley "We must divert mountains of garbage from landfill and incineration by recycling used resources back into the production stream. . By 1992, the government aims to divert 25 percent of municipal solid waste from landfill and incineration - both household and com- mercial -industrial - to recycling. . By the year 2000, the government aims to divert from landfill and incineration half of Ontario's garbage. Every community and institution in Ontario, including the Provin- cial governmcm, will have to change its wasteful ways to achieve these reduction and recycling goals;" Mr. Bradley stated. The government's goal in its own activities is to reach the 50 per- cent target well before the year 2000 and to share its experience with municipalities, the private sector and the federal government. Meas- ures taken include purchasing policies supporting markets for recy- cled products, restrictions on non-recyclable/non-reusable goods within government and maximum recycling or recovery of materials such as office paper and cafeteria wastes. To reach the diversion goals for the entire province, the govern- ment intends to implement a number of reforms and programs, in- cluding an expansion of the successful Blue Box Recycling initia- tive. I was pleased to take part recently in the Town of Wingham's launching of their Blue Box program, for which the Environment Ministry was able to provide $17,500 in funding. Since 1985; the government has increased funding ten -fold for household recycling. Municipalities and industry have joined in, and the Blue Box curbside recycling program has expanded from 40,000 households in 1985 to 1.4 million today. The household Blue Box program has been complemented by the launching of STAR, a school recycling program and the initiation of the industrial recycling fund, currently at $2.5 million a year.: As new communities start Blue Box programs, and as the recy- cling service is extended to apartment dwellers, the Ministry of Envi- ronment projects that,- by the year 1995, 75 percent of Ontario homes - nearly three million - will have household recycling service. Additional household wastes such as mixed plastics, boxboard and corrugated cardboard will be collected. Other initiatives include: * assistance to householders and municipalities in setting up home and municipal composting units *private sector waste reduction - * a research advisory committee to provide assistance to research and develop new and innovative technologies for waste reusing, recy- cling, reduction and recovery technologies and markets. * true -cost tipping fees to promote the development of reusing, re- cycling, reduction and recovery activities by establishing a level playing field for these options to compete fairly with disposal on purely economic grounds * mobile teams of technical advisors and an environmental infor- mation hotline. The government will also introduce legislation clarifying the prov- ince's power to make 4R activities mandatory. Mr. Bradley said that these Initiatives and others announced in the program arc intended to "end the careless Throw -away Era in Onta- rio. "Garbage," the Minister added, "is just another way of saying mis- managed resources." Total cost to the province of the measures aimed at reaching the 50 percent diversion rate are estimated at $225 million. Grants to riding I was pleased to learn recently from Minister of Housing Chaviva Hosek that the Town of Clinton will receive a grant in the amount of $12,667 to assist them in preparing a Municipal Housing State- ment for the town. - - ANSWERS A QUESTION - Ed Skinner of Becker's Farm Equipment answers,,,a question from Frank Hardy of Lucan at Wednesday's Farm Fair at the South Huron Roc C -4----- Focus on volunteers CLINTON - Volunteers can be found at work in all segments of our rural communities.
