Complete Reduction on September, Newman, who took over the Ministry last February, said that he would bring in new legislation or regulations to deal with pop-containers before the end of the year but added that no guarantee of action, by this date could be given. Environment Minister William Newman has stated that he plans to introduce legislation in the fall has been under constant pressure for three years from opposition members and environmentalists to ban the throwaways or at least to take some action, It was back in January 1973 that James Auld, the former Minister of the Environment was saying that he would have legislation regulating soft drink bottles and cans in effect by tl Seniors enjoy trip to OAC Centennial attacked by environmentalists. It has been argued that while the government is the sole receiver of all submissions, it is impossible to know, therefore, what weight public input has had into the legislation that govern- ment is likely to produce, Newman has stated that there have been 179 submissions to the green paper on environmental assessment which the Ministry is still in the process of evaluating. However, the Minister of the Environment has opposed suggestions by Liberal opposition members to make these sub- missions public or publicize the major concerns common to most briefs in order that they could become part of public discussion before legislation is introduced. Therefore, it would seem that little opportunity will be given for public input in the formation of the legislation. of 1974 for Ontario's first program of environmental im- pact studies, Since the future holds a continual series of public and private enterprises requiring investigation of their en- vironmental effect, the aim of .an impact program is to learn the environmental consequences of these projects in advance, so that damage may be avoided through planned changes rather than having to face it when it happens, The green paper on en- vironmental assessment published in September, 1973, puts forth several possible ap- proaches for subjecting major development projects to en- vironmental impact reviews, While the green paper is intended to provide a basis for public discussion and to solicit public response, the Ministry of the Environment's methods of soliciting public input, have been energy and resources, it admits at the end that "if a major reduction in the use of non- refillable containers or their elimination is to be achieved, however, additional measure to the ones recommended in this report, have to be adopted." While a ban on non-returnable bottles was rejected as was the suggestion that an "en- vironmental surcharge" or tax be added to their cost; the group did suggest that the government establish a mandatory refun- dable deposit for refillable soft drinks - five cents for bottles up to 16 ounces and 10 cents for larger bottles - as an incentive to con: smilers to return refillable bottles. Moreover, it proposed a ban on pop cans with pull-tab openers, However, no specific date for this ban was suggested in order to allow development of an alter- native opening device. The committee further suggested that the soft drink industry follow the brewing industry's lead in establishing standard container sizes and selling the product in carriers that can be used to return empties. Action on the working group's recommendations on the still outstanding question of a ban rests with Environment Minister Newman. While Newman has accepted the report as a guideline he feels that there is a need for more direct action in a number of areas, However, he has no target date for legislation and refuses to hint at what form of action he will take. The Ministry of Environment On June 27, the report of the beverage packaging group of the Environment Ministry's solid waste Task Force was tabled in the Legislature by Environment Minister William Newman, The main subject of the detailed report which was received by the Ministry on March 15. but had not yet been released, is just how much waste is caused by throwaway bottles and cans. The committee calculated that the various beverage industries were responsible for 241,846 tons of waste in 1972 of which the soft drink industry was the chief culprit. They further estimated that it cost Ontario $3.9 million to dispose of the waste from beverages in 1972. The task force group's mem- bership, including seven mem- bers drawn from beverage- rela ted industries and three from consumer groups, made it all but impossible to arrive at any concrete solutions, Thus while the report gives the Ontario members of Parliament their first comprehensive look at the environmental effect of throwaway bottles and cans, it does not go far enough in providing any solutions to the problem. While the group agrees in general that refillable bottles are better than single use bottles or cans to reduce garbage and save All Ladies' and Chikiren's Summer Wear Savings Up To... 50% TAYLOR'S Ready-to Wear Main St. Hensall Huron's Largest Selection of Children's Wear By TED CHAMBERS On the 9th of July, 75 Senior Citizens from Exeter and district travelled in two buses to the Centennial celebrations of the Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph. The group left South Huron District High School at 8:20 a.m. and arrived at the O.A.C. two hours later. The trip through the coun- tryside, for any of those who were former farmers was very en- joyable, The Exeter Seniors were divided into groups and were given guided tours of the campus, The first building was the arts building, which included a library of pictures taken over the years from the beginning of the University, including graduation pictures which some could remember, Another building contained old tools and implements and some of the seniors had to explain to their guide what these tools had been used for, such as a boring machine for making mortise holes in timbers, for building barns and broadaxes to hue the timbers, In the yard the Seniors saw all the old steam engines, threshing machines, buzz saws, shingle making machines, and old makes of tractors which most of us had seen over the years. We were disappointed in the arrangement and design of many of the newer buildings. You have to walk miles to see anything and there is no set arrangement of buildings. They are standing every-which-way with no streets going anywhere in particular. The group had to stand in line for an hour before we were served lunch. It took so long to get our lunch that we missed part of the parade. No one seemed to know we were coming, even though they had been notified. The group then boarded the buses and headed for the Church of our Lady, at the north end of the city which was built a hun- dred years ago. The tour of the church, with its elaborate paintings and windows was the highlight of the day. From there we headed towards Kitchener and stopped at a beautiful park to rest from the heat. We carried on later to a property with swimming pools, trailer camps and a huge restaurant which accommodated us all easily. We enjoyed a smorgasbord supper and were shown through a huge assembly room which can be divided into five rooms. The entire building cost around $1 million. We headed for home and arrived at the High School about 9 p.m. Everyone enjoyed the trip and our sincere thanks go to Mrs. Coward and Mrs. Skinner for all the planning that made our trip possible.
