Second of recycling
EXETER - .Recycling is one
component of a broader waste re-
_ • duction initiative called the "4R's".
The other three components -arc Re-
use, Recovery and Reduction. Re-
duction. refers to the ultimate.mini-
mization of the amount .of solid
waste that makes .it sway to the
Iandfilfsite.
7f7hcre are -several ways.of reduc-
ing your own waste output, and
one of the best is to reduce the
amount that enters your home in
the first place:
Packaging represcnts_approxi-
mately 40 percent of all waste nla-
terials. Imagine -the process. by
which a box of cereal arrives at
your hong. A farmer buys metal
-boxes.or plastic bags of fertilizer to
help grow the grains: The grams
are often Nagged; loaded on skids,
and shipped to the cereal mandate-
- turer. The cereal is processed. and
packaged 'into bokes.• .
.These arc packed into large boxes
and shipped- to the supermarkets.
You huy a box and carry.it horse in
. a plastic or paper hag. Each`step in-
votvcs a great deal of throw -away
. packaging. Include. the. same steps
for many more products• you huy
acid it becomes easy to understand
the inefedihIc volume of waste rep-
-resented by packaging.
Realistically. though, you can't
imagine yoursclfhcing responsible
for most- of these steps, However,
there arc many ways you can reduce
- the Volume through awareness{end
common sense..
Ovcrpackaging or excess packing
has been a problem for many years.
Exeter 4
EXETER - We had our third
meeting Thursday, October 20 at
6:45 -at. Marie Ncthcrcott's.
. The meeting started off at Value -
mart. • While we were there .we
learned about the freshness of rncat,
what to look for .when buying
meat, and the date it was packed.
Then we went back to Marie's and
finished. our meetinc. Our roll call
In di,: name ofconycnien;L and hy-
giene, we wrap things up again and
again. Just how "fresh" anust some-
thing be'' We're willing to take
rolls from a bulk bin -that may have
been picked over by several others,
yet we choose the tomautcs that are:
plastic wrapped on a cardboard tray
instead of the Ioxtse. ones.
. Docs it make_ more sense- to huy
a pen or pencil: that's in a "bubble
package" of plastic and cardboard.
or to buy loose pens and, Pencils!
•You may even • sec coconuts, na-
trirc's perfect package, wrapped in
two layers of plastic. -
Think about that one for a min-
ute.
The answer to this problem is the
educated consumer; We should buy
things according to the product, not
.the package. Sure, you can't carry
flour home in your hands, sol much
of the packaging will always he
necessary[ but don't be fooled by
Bulkihdpping is -a useful method
of waste reduction as well.- From
the extreme of buying several kilo-
grams at a time. of sugar, flour or
the like, to buy a large tub of pea-
nut butter instead of two small
tubs. It's even less expensive that
-way! .
Lastly, you might take your own
containers to fill up on bulk prod-
ucts. This may include taking your
plastic or paper bags back to carry
your groceries home in.
Consumers have a good deal to
say with respcct•to packaging.
Packaging companies arc not neces-
sarily the bad guys. They will re -

this week was "Name two different
cuts of beef that your family cats at
home." We talked about what we
cooked last week. Most cooked
pork and peaches.
Brenda Sanders taught us a game
about the different cuts of beef. -

day, October 27 at Marie Nether -
