A less stringent Environ- ment Protection Act will be al- lowed as long as all regions wanting to use the site have reached a 25 per cent garbage reduction by Dec. 31, 1992. A Landfill Citizen's Advisory Committee must also be estab- lished to address complaints and suggest methods for reduc- ing impacts of the dump to neighboring residents.

Remember next week is the last week of the sum- mer program. Annette, Angela, Nicole \ The Environment by Janet Banting : Last week's column provided a lot of 'bad news' about something we've come to take perhaps too much for granted in North America - the automobile. This week's will suggest things we can do to minimize our contribution to the many problems being caused by our cars. The first thing we need to do is give more careful thought to the way we use our cars, and to ask ourselves how we can find ways to use them less. We can probably all make greater efforts at taking part in car pools to and from work, for exam- ple, and accept that a little inconvenience will not kill us. We can also ride our bikes more, walk more, and use public transit more too. We can plan shopping trips more carefully so that we don't run out every day on endless errands. We can encourage our children to walk to and from school, Brownies, baseball games, and so on. The exercise is good for them and so is the attitude that they will be developing! Marjorie Lamb's book, "2 Minutes a Day for a Greener Planet," has an excellent 12 page section on things we can all do. I'm going to squeeze in as many of her suggestions as I can. I've also consulted "The Canadian Green Consumer Guide," the "Home and Family Guide," and Environment Canada's new booklet "What We Can Do For Our Environment." All four of these are available at the Scugog Memorial Library. Choose a "no car" limit such as "no driving to anything within a 34 mile radius," or whatever distance will work for your family. In a small town like Greenbank, for example, where my family lives, you can make the rule "no driving within the town." New rules like this always take a little adjusting to, but are surely worth a bit of effort on everyone's part. Buy a fuel efficient car and keep it properly tuned and ser- viced in order to minimize pollution. Radial tires last longer (meaning a savings to both you and the environment with less frequent replacements) and improve a car's gas mileage, resulting in reduced waste of carbon fuels. Check tire pressure twice a month, keep the tires properly balanced, and check wheel alignment in order to increase the life of your tires. Slow down! Driving slower reduces nitrogen oxide emissions as well as reducing fuel consumption. Consumption increases by 20 percent when you drive 70 miles per hour instead of 55. Aggressive driving habits pollute more, consume more fuel, and are responsible for more 'wear and tear" on brakes and tires. Don't sit with the engine running-even in cold weather you only need to warm it up for a few seconds before driving away slowly. Don't leave the engine running when you are waiting for someone. Turn it off! . ' Use re-refined motor oil in your car. Re-refined oil is as good as new, having been cleaned and treated. Make sure that the service station you go to uses re-refined oil AND that it gets all its oil recycled. Used motor oil contains heavy metals and is con- sidered a hazardous waste. When improperly disposed of, it con- taminates the ground and leaches into water supplies. One litre of oil can contaminate up to a million litres of drinking water! Many garages now take oil for recycling, and locally the land- fill sites have a drop-off container for used motor oil as well. Car antifreeze can be cleaned for reuse, whereas improper disposal is harmful to wildlife, pets and people. Air condition- ing refrigerant can be recycled. Car batteries should not be disposed of with household garbage, but should be taken to one of the local landfill sites, a hazardous waste depot, or returned to the dealer. Try your best not to use air conditioning in your car. The coolant used is a major contributor to the depletion of the ozone layer, and air conditioners also increase fuel consumption by 8-12 percent. Lots of us have never owned cars with air condi- tioners, and somehow we muddle through! Use the air vents and windows, and if you want to bé wildly extravagant like our fami- ly, buy a couple of pretty Chinese fans (59 cents or thereabouts) to give you some relief. Some people believe that we need to institute really drastic measures, like rationing gasoline and limiting car ownership to one per family, in order to bring car-related problems under con- trol. Maybe these moves will not be necessary in the future if we all decide NOW to make a personal commitment to develop- ing more responsible attitudes about the way we think about and use our cars. ?
