Women and the Environment
is 19S99O theme for Fy1%IO.
Your environment, my environ-
ment, everyone's environment.
Women's Institutes across the
province are concerned and are act-
ing, not just asking the govern-
ments for money. The 1989-90
theme for Federated Women's Insti-
tutes of Ontario is "Women and the
Environment".
It is the concern of Women's In-
stitutes that the condition of the air,
water, land, plants, wildlife and na-
tural resources which influence the
environment of living things, be
safe, productive and enjoyable. Par-
ticipation of individuals in a re-
sponsible environmental way will
provide a sustainable future. This
can be attained thrnigh eeeeeeen
participation, communication and
networking through conservation,
stewardship and commitment to
preserving environmental quality.
Women's Institutes are acting in
their own communities, whether it
is planting trees, cleaning the
beaches in a provincial park, acting
as resource people on township
councils, helping with recycling
programs in local communities,
joining local groups helping to stop
viable farm land from becoming
landfill sites, having displays on
recyclable and recycled items, do-
nating money to Local fairs for envi-
ronmental competitions, providing
speakers, organizing workshops,
presenting resolutions to the appro-
priate levels of government and
presenting briefs to local township
councils.
As an organization, FWIO has
seen the need in the farming and
rural communities and is acting.
The influence of more than 20,000
farm and rural women will be felt
throughout the province.
The Warwick WI branch from
Lambton County has prepared a
list of easy -to -prepare household
products which everyone can use
and which help protect the environ-
ment. For all-purpose cleaner, they
suggest using 1/2 cup ammonia,
1/2 cup vinegar, 1/4 cup baking
soda and 1/2 gallon water.
Furniture polish: 1 teaspoon lem-
on oil, 1 pint mineral oil: Apply
with rag.
Wall cleaner: 1/4 cup washing
soda, 1/2 cup household ammonia,
1/4 cup vinegar, 1 gallon warm wa-
ter.

Pesticide: 1. Rhubarb Spray — for
aphids, June bugs, black spot and
rust. Steep 6 rhubarb leaves in 2-3
quarts boiling water. Strain and
spray.
2. Garlic Spray — for chewing
and sucking insects, as well as fun-
gicide for mildew, leaf spot and
spore diseases: 3 cloves garlic, 1 tea-
spoon very hot pepper, 1 quart wa-
ter. Blend and steep for 10 minutes.
Strain, then mix with water in 1:4
ratio.
Drain declogger: Toss two hand-
fuls of bicarbonate of soda into
drain, followed by 1/2 cup vinegar.
Let set for one hour, then run water
through.
Air freshener: Leave an opened
box of baking soda or a dish of vin-
egar in the room.
Other hints: 1. Add a little vine-
gar to the dish water to cut grease
on dirty dishes.
2. Never mix chlorine and ammo-
nia. Deadly fumes are produced.
3. Never mix chlorine with vine-
gar or toilet bowl cleansers. Deadly
