FROM THE ENERGY
CONSERVATION CENTRE
Last week we listed ways in whit' we can all pitch in to
$ave money and energy by recycling products. Following
are some questions you• might ask yourself which may
help you put the remaining 2R's to work - namely
REJECT & RE -USE.
Do you REJECT such items as:
1. Disposable paper plates, towels?
2. Over -packaged items? Packaging is the largest
component of waste. Less packaged products cost le -ss
money. Avoid "bubble" packaging and cardboard and
heavy foil wrapped articles. Buy in bulk if possible, and
take your own containers. Or how .about growing your
own vegetables? Backyard gardens provide good food,
lots of fun, lower food bills and hidden.energy savings.
The energy you will use to cook them will be less than the
energy used to prepare, precook and preserve a con-
venience item.
3. Unsolicited mail? - Junk mail can be returned free if
it is unopened; just mark it "Refused - Return to Sender"
and drop in any mail box. Or have your name removed
from all mailing lists by writing to the Canadian. Direct
Mail Association, 130 Merton St., Toronto, Ont. M4S 1A4.
4. Aerosol cans? Aerosols can be 3 or 4 times more
expensive than comparable products in simple,, non -
pressurized containers, and cannot be re -used or
recycled. They are now believed to be indirectly
responsible for destruction of, the earth's ozone layer
which blocks off dangerous levels of ultra violet light
from reaching the earth.
5. Novelty or luxury items? - Do you really need an
electric can opener, electric carving knife or electric
toothbrush?
6. Appliances that are not built to last 'and are not
easily repaired? Check the manufacturer's guarantee
before you. buy.
7. Plastics? - Recycling is difficult and burning creates
undesirable fumes.
8. Soft drink cans with aluminum tops?
9. Tin cans? Which aren't really tin, they're mostly,
steel with a small amount of tin.
Do you RE -USE such items as:
1. Gift wrapping, string, paper clips, rubber bands?
r2,O1d tires'? •- can be retreaded and are available at:
various retail outlets. Estimates are that we discard one
tire per person every year in Canada. That is about 22
•
million tires a year!
3. Buy recycled paper? - Look for the recycled symbol
before buying stationery, notebooks, typewriter paper.
4. Old clothes and shoes? - Patching, sewing and
mending are not lost arts.
5. Buttons? - Cut off clothes beyond repair and turn
clothes into useful household rags.
6. Repair it? Instead of throwing it out, fix it.
If you have any suggestions or questions we would like
to hear from you. Please contact either of the Energy
Conservation Centres listed below.
