for energy savings
A small conference room
in Goderich was the scene
last week of daily eight-hour
training sessions on energy
conservation for six in-
dustrious area residents:
Gerry Zurbrigg, Barb
Zettler, Pat Niblock, Ian
Finlayson, Joe Drennan and
Bev Brown.
These people are em-
ployees of the new Com-
munity Conservation Cen-
tres at .Goderich and
Lucknow and "their job is to
spread the word on how
people save money by
becoming energy conscious
in their homes, their cars, at
their businesses and on their
farms.
Guided by the Project
Leader, Tony McQuail, the
group has familiarized
themselves with various
forms of alternative energy'
sources and conservation
practices. They have
already gathered together
an impressive library of
books such as The Sun
Builders, Canada as a
Conserver Society, Stop the
Five Gallon Flush, Other
Homes and Garbage, The
Woodburners Encyclopedia
and dozens of others.
These will all be available
to the public at the Com-
munity Conservation Cen-
tres which are located at
Goderich (above the
Bluewater Cleaners) and at
Lucknow (on the main street
next to the new Sentinel
Office). The official openings
for these Centres . will be
announced in next week's
paper.
"Although this
programme is funded for
only 7 months under the
Federal Labour Intensive
Programme," says Bev
Brown of Turnberry
Township, "the ac-
complishments of this group
will be far reaching in the
community in terms of
education, money savings
and new projects an energy
conservation."
Tony McQuail, well known
for his night school courses
on alternate energy sources,
spoke for the group when he
said, "We are at a stage
when it is no longer ap-
propriate to approach our
world as a consumer society.
The aim is to find ways to
make a comfortable tran-
sition to a conserver society.
Because the group has
been able to find suitable
space in both Goderich and
Lucknow for Energy Con-
servation Centres, they now
have a problem trying to
furnish both locations, as
there is no money in the
budget to purchase fur-
niture. They would like to
appeal to anyone who could
loan or give the Centres any
of the following items, chairs
of any description, small or
large tables, stand or table
lamps, desks or book shelves
and filing cabinets. These
items could be returned to
the owners at the end of the
project in September. If you
can help out, please call the
Lucknow Centre at 528-3304.
