The Recyling Council of Ontario (RCO) renamed the seven-y ear-old 'Recycl.ng Weee to VWaste Reduction Week' to emphasize reduce and reuse. "Recycling siprtant," explains John Hanson, executive directer of the RCOu, alone, will not solve our garbage problerna." As well as the name change, the date was moved forward te September, allowing businesses,, Who. complained that November was too close te Christmas, teparticipate., 'The Future is RsW poster was designed by 11-year-old Jodi Fletcher in 1989. Her title is so appropriate that the RCO bas chosen it again te be the 1991 theme. Jodi's poster shows four character letter Rs workmg together. By keeping the same theme unused promotional items from 1990 can be used. Hopefully, a volunteer waste reduction co-ordinater will çmerge fr-om each municipality across Ontario. This is the week that provýides busmesses and organuzations a chance te get out the message of waste reduction.

Organizations can create displays. Media can offer a poster or an essay contest and feature recycing steries. An one wishing further information xnay contact Eileen Chadnicik at 480-7326. Although a September date may not particularly sllow school teachers adequate time te organize displays,'it does reinforce the message at the beginning of the school term. In fact, most schools by now have mnoved beyond the display and essay stage and have already swung inte action - wluch is what waste reduction is ail about. The Durham Board of Education is an acknowledged leader in the implementation of environmental initiatives. During Recycing Week 1988, Durham was the frst board te officially place a Lue box in every classroom. Since that time, many reoucefuil ideas such as the garbageless lunch, litter pickups, tree plantinig and verrni-composting, have been occurring. This year, the board hopes to place a composting unit in every school yard. Together, staff and studentà-will layer. yard, waste and lunch scraps te create a sou conditioner that will be' placed on school flower beds and, at the same time, reduce the garbage bags that go.te landfill. As outlinîed in 'Directions,' a Durham Board of Education staff news sheet, 'We should aIl be proud of the successes we have had, yet we should each be constantly aware of -our important role in protecting our environment.
