mmmwmwmmmwmmm su tribune july 19 1989 cs kate gilderdale correspondent steve payne founder and organizer of the little league theatre is currently working on a radio series about the en vironment which will air on cbcam during the last hour of the sunday morning program the show which will run for five weeks starts sunday july 16 it deals with the history of where things like pcbs cfcs and dioxins originate and it isnt really going after manufacturers which would be the easy way to do it he states instead its saying they manufacture this stuff because thats what the public wants it looks at how these tox ins are created for instance he points out cfcs chlorofluorocarbons are one of the chief components in freon gas which is used for refrigerators and every household has at least one the scope of the show is worldwide he says host david suzuki talks to en vironmentalists everyone from key scientists involved in the field to the average person of particular interest he says is the segment on the power of one its about the power of one person to effect change in their own community or their own company a lot of corporations have taken a leadership role in the area of the environment he says northern telecom for in stance has developed a strategy that will enable the firm to avoid using cfcs within itwo years how can one person help its as simple as using cotton jdiapersfor your baby he stresses it may be more work but think of what youre doing people say theyre too busy but we have to stop being too busy and be willing to take an extra hour of the week to care about the environment we have to stop using cars and start walking or cycling more often too one of the sad dest scenarios weve unearthed is the decline of the sugar bush one of our longeststanding its about the power of one person to effect change in their own community or their own company traditions has been producing the best maple syrup in the world and now the maples are dying because of acid rain acid rain is caused by emis sions from incinerators used in the production of consumer goods from car parts to plastics he states the rain itself falls and eats away at the nutrients in the soil if you drive along the streets of any town you will notice huge maple trees hundreds of years old and wonder whats going to happen to them although the use of fertilizers is a temporary solution he ad mits in the long term we have to start being more en vironmentally conscious about what were doing its vitally important for people to realize its today not tomorrow or next week or next year we have a problem the program he hopes will scare people into action but we dont want them to think its too late that anything they do now will be futile blue box recycling programs are only scratching the sur face it may take five to six per cent of our garbage taking cardboard to the recycling depot and composting garden waste are ways people can ac tively help preserve the en vironment he adds although the present genera tion may not be affected radically by the deteriorating state of the environment our children will and their children will i want the best world possible for my kids david suzuki asked how much more do we want everyone wants a bigger house a bigger car we have to stop all this consuming and start recycling we have to get back to basics the cbc show has travelled worldwide to places like helsinki london and paris as well as across canada wherever theres a story he is part of the series pro duction team working with the executive producer to co ordinate everything that hap pens on the program there are three producers one researcher and myself involv ed he notes he was working on the popular science show quirks and quarks when they asked him to consider the en vironment series although steve was new to the cbc having been there on ly two or three weeks he says things have worked out ex tremely well i was meant to be there for a month and then go back to quirks and quarks but they asked me to stay on and finish the series he notes he started at the beginning of april and when the program is complete hell be going on to variety radio he sees some positive indica tions that environmental issues are finally being treated with the seriousness they deserve were starting to see the greening of politicians were seeing that you can effect change if you demand it he says its up to the public to insist on less food packaging to stop accepting plastic grocery bags and instead bring their own if we do things like that well be much further ahead he concludes sopefs summer spe01als valid with piera lucy ali and tino offer expires aug 3089 cfe specials valid only coupons jjrti- withcour oo ham f ten esj5 a full range of esthetic services
