Youth group concerned about A local youth group is taking its con- cerns about the environment a step fur- ther, and encouraging its church and the community to make a bigger effort to recycle. Beginning May 1, the Senior Youth Group of First Presbyterian Church in Seaforth, will begin a campaign on recycling that it hopes will carry over to the town. " e had a debate about the tire fire and got into the environment and what we could be doing to save it," said group secretary Morgan Murray, about the pro- ject's origin. • "We'd like to start a recycling pro- gram, and see it expand to the older members of the congregation, and then to the community." "It was all their own idea," added youth leader Michael Ash. "The group expressed an interest in trying to address some environmental issues, and decided to look at recycling." Mr. Ash explained the group, which consists of 16 youths in their teenage years, has already begun it focus on recycling. Some of its members are working on a letter/petition that will be put before the government at the municipal, provincial and federal levels. Others are making posters, and working ,on a means of Qducating the First Presbyterian congregation. 'A number of hand-out sheets explaining the process of recycling have also been ob- tained for distribution. In addition, the youth group i s pick- ed up two blue boxes from the Township of McKillop, who is involved in a recycl- ing program, and plans to have those boxes in use within the church, for the recycling of church bulletins and waste paper. The group also hopes to encourage in- creased use of china cups, as opposed to styrofoam, for all church functions. "There's not that much that will real- ly be done in the church itself," said Mr. Ash. "What the group hopes is that it can encourage people to take on the task of recycling themselves, and also that it can apply pressure to the local politicians to implement a recycling program in town." He explained that although it may seem inconvenient, recycling is not that difficult a task once a person gets into the habit. "Seeing that Japan already recycles 15 to 20 categories of garbage, recycling paper, glass and cans, is not that hard to do," he said. He added that a future endeavor of the group might be to hold a one -day, or weekend blitz on recycling, with group members actually going out into the com- environment munity and collecting recyclable items themselves. But the group is not without its con- cerns about what it is it is attempting to do. "McKillop and Hibbert Township do it (recycling) already," commented Sherri Bennett, "But if Seaforth doesn't have it, people might not think it's worthwhile to recycle." "People might say it's a waste of time," said group president, Jim Bannerman. "But down the road it won't be. It's our future, and it's worth it. If we don't do something now, it (garbage) will just pile up," added Morgan. "The whole purpose of this group is for its members to learn about themselves, the community and their church. Thisis one way to do that and help other people at the same time." "These are the people who have to ef- fect change because the people who are holding power don't necessarily see the need for change," concluded Mr. Ash.
