Orono Weekiy Tlmes, Wednesday, ýJune 9, 1993 - il Mo re IR~~fle'0k by Helen MacDonald In 1971, wben Environment Canada declared the first week of June National Environment Week, few of us knew much about the extent of global environmental dégradation. We knew even less about its impact upon buman health, or how to 'dlean up' the mess. More than twenty years later,' the air is stili filtby, waterways are still polluted and tbe land continues te degrade. Our children suffer încreased incidences of respiratory ailments, the food they eat is connected more to the petro-chemical industry than it is to tbe land, and they must be discouraged from playing under the brilliant rays of the sun...tbey are harmful. For years, we have been informed of daily pollution leveis. Then, in tbe sprînig of 1992, the féderal govemment began to issue daily ozone warnings tbrough publication of a UV Risk Index. 1And, tbis montb marks the beginning of a summer long Spare the Air project during which, alongside daily pollution and UV Risk indices, we will be given one-day advanced smog warnings. While tbe weather forecaster tracks environmental chaos, tbe Canadian Cancer Society and the Canadian Dermnatology Association warn about the cancer-causing effects of exposure to the sun. Tbe Lung Association alerts us to the health impacts of smog. And recently, my children came bome from scbool with a reminder to protect tbem fro m tbe harroful rays 0 of te suni. All of tbîs is utter madness! While our energies go to remembering wide-brimmed'bats, extra clothing, gobs of sunscreen, and limited outdoor playtime, wbai are we doing to solve tbe problem? How committed are we to environmental protection and dlean-up?. It took a long time for our society te accept the link between long-terni tebacco use and related health impacts. Many lives were lost, and bealth-care costs for smoke-related disease and illness soared before -we began a serious campaign to curb smoking. Similarly, warnings and temporary, human-centred solutions won't solve our environmental problems. Stopping ozone depletion, smog, pollution- and other environinental, degradation will. Remember the America boy, David, wbo lived in a m an-made bubble for all of his twelve years because be was allergic to everything? H ow sad we tbougbt it that bc could not chase butterfies in sunny fields, or swim in cool rivers, or climb a Iree in the forest, or bug bis parents. David's world, removed from Nature and from the universe, puts me to wondering about the future of our children. Will tbey be able te play happily beneatit the sun, or will we be forced te safely cocoon tbemn from harmn in an artificial Earth bubble? And, wbat of tbe birds, and the trees and the rivers? Do your bit . .. not only during National Environment Week, but every week! A Il that 'jazz by Michael D. Woolner End of the Year Well, seems as tbough another school year bas corne to a close, and as every year, the thougbt of leaving every little evîdence of educationâl benefit behind lingers silently aînong thoughts of finally breaking the bonds and shackles that held us captive at Clarke Higb for ten montbs of the year. As a final assembly in tbe gymnasium, I would like to just once, gatber alI tbe stude nts that have sacrificed everytbing in the naine of education, sitthern down in usual fashion and have a single person walk on the stage and ask just one single question, "What did you learn ibis year?" And of course, tbe response froin the majority of the student body will come as, "Absolutely nothing!" Yes, kind, yet mislead board members and teachers. Do not be sbocked, when you hear that all those "vital necessities needed to furtiter education," that you crammed into Our minds year after year bas, bow you say, "Gone in one ear and out the other." Most students can remember that classic question used by some towards a teacher, "Wbat are we ever going to use this stuff for anyway?" True, the basics are important and maybe of value in life.,Yet, why is Marcello goingto need to know the value of pi to the 127th decimal place when bis career of objectives consist of running his late father's pizza business and collecting various tree bark from around the continent? But for a conclusion to that immort al question, What-dîd you learn ibis year?" were in attendance at the Orono Park.
