"And this is true, I suppose. Except you can't just believe whatever you'd like and leave it at that. You have to have good reasons for what you believe. And the questions aren't about the conclusions you reach, just about how you get there." . "It's the path that counts." That's Philosophy in a nutshell. nutshell. It's about a path. That, and something about how everything is illusory and this isn't really real but kind of like a shadow-a reflection of the real world. Like that movie, The Matrix. Speaking of which, and being expectant in general, shouldn't part two be out in theatres soon? Grade seven science students at The Pines experimented with plastics last Thursday in a workshop put on by the Environment And Plastics Industry Council. Emily Martin (L) and Zack Flood (R) discovered that a plastic like polypropaline, which loves oil and hates water can be useful in cleaning up oil spills. Recycling program on hold indefinitely Little green plastic pails have held up the new recycling recycling program indefinitely. According to Peter Watson, Manager of Waste Management for the Durham Region, the moulds for the green plastic kitchen waste containers are on their way from Europe to the factory in Windsor where the 84,000 containers will be made. The new integrated waste collection system which will include an enhanced blue box program as well as the collection collection of kitchen organic waste was to be implemented in the municipalities of Scugog, Uxbridge, Brock and Clarington in mid November. Watson said he anticipates the huge task of delivering the containers to the 42,000 residents residents will be completed by the end of January. "It takes eight to ten weeks to make all the containers we ordered," said Watson in a phone interview with The Times last week. "Because Regional Council didn't make a decision on the purchase of the green container till September, the program has been delayed." Regional Works Department recommended rolling out the program in two stages at their meeting last Wednesday, which was attended by Regional Councillor Charlie Trim. The suggestion was to begin with the new enhanced Blue Box Program, and the new two bag limit for household waste in November, and introduce introduce the kitchen waste component component later. "Two weeks before Christmas is no time to be introducing a new concept," stated Trim to the Orono Times on Monday morning, "especially when the reduced bag limit from the current four to three bags is anticipated to generate some layoffs to garbage collection staff. While the four public meetings held in Clarington to educate the public on the new waste collection system have been very well attended, education education is still needed. Another stumbling block to the new system is getting the new 20 page waste collection collection guide and calender out to every household. The guide fully explains what is expected expected of each home owner on garbage day, and includes 10 free bag tags, to be used on any bag placed on the curb over the 3 bag limit.
