University and King Streets, Tel. 362-1848 Sad but true. Our pleasant custom of burning leaves is a meaningful cause of air pollution. Just how bad is it? The answer may surprise you. One pound of leaves burned in the open throws up 600 times' the pollutants released by burning a pound ,of coal in' a •furnace.

But when it's piled onto all the industrial smokes, plus the gasoline and diesel exhausts, you've got a serious contribution. Air pollution is°a big, complicated problem. Maybe you've- .wanttpd' :to help, but so far could only feeLl elpless and angry. 524.144 Now there's something you can do: Don't burn your leaves. • What do you do with them? Pite them in .a - heap and mulch them. Failing that, pack them up for the garbage collectors. If theyrefuse to pick them up, take them to the dum` your- self: If that's against your local by-law, get together with a few others who want to help and go see your council. Let them knew how 'you feel. If this seems like a lot of trouble over'a few innocent leaves, remember this : you and your children and your neighbours and their children, allof us, we've been given exactly one pair of lungs.
