In Canada, suburban yards receive 15 times more pesticides per are thaýi any other type of land use. Insecticides intended t e kli pestsalse cause the unnecessary. death of. beneficial insects and; birds. In - addition, chemicals may seep inte the groundwater and can contribu tt the contamination. of our drinldng water. To ,malce matters worse, pests have become résistant teý sprays. As the" tolerance, of peste te the spraýys increases, se dos the frequency of sprayingand the shéer volume of the pesticide required results in escalating costs for the homeow*ier or fariner. Last ye-ar during Environinent Week, I had te, walk past those, little pesticide warning flags on my local library's3 lawmn in order te, view thi 1isly on 'how we can save the environment? 'y Today, many people are looking tewards herbai lawns and groundcovers.IH unwanited weeds persist, they can easily be up-rooted with the aid of a weed popper, available in.most hardware stores or garden centres. Ifi March, Better Homes and Gardens featured a seven-page article entitled, 'Easy-a re Ggrdening That's Kind to, the Earth.' During the Earth Day celebrations at the Pickering Mail, Rowena -Kirk, who volunteered te help organize a twci-iayi display, was pleased te report that many people stopped for informfation. She was surprised te daiscover that many homeowners who were interested ini backyard compoeting stiil did not realize that they can- obtain a commercial composting unit at the region's subsidized rate. Whitby residents can obtain the black plastic Bardmatic or the cedar Bio-Bin at OGS Garden Gallery at 5515 Thickson Rd. N., for the subsidized costs of $20 and $26, respectively. For the, past couple of weekends, regional 'staff, volunteers and çonsultants fromh Compost Management have been offering compost information, aswell as the opportunity te receive a free unit, to the homeowners of a new subdvison in Pickering. This, cornmunity was chosen té b. Durham's study area for waste diversion. Residents were asked to weigh ana chart the amount oif oram kitchen waste they collect. Participants were equipped with a -plastic bucket; weigh scales, chart sheets, return envelopes and the composting unit, of, their choice. e, -1
