@ Communities and
companies jump on the
recycling bandwagon
There are a lot of innova-
tive things happening around
the province with respect to
reducing the amount of
— entering B.C,’s land-

The following is a glimpse
of several interesting projects
that are happening.

Calona Wines pays a refund to customers who
return Calona wine bottles to the winery to be
sterilized and used again.

This led to setting up a
community recycling pro-
gram, with the co-operation of
Alcan who provided a can
crusher on permanent loan.

It also involved co-opera-
tion from Coast Ferries, who
provided free transportation
of recyclables to the south
coast area.

The Finlay Forest Indus-
tries paper mill in Mackenzie
is about to use three-to-five

and.are willing to purchase
paper from any source north
of Kamloops.

Calona Wines pays a re-
fund to customers who return
Calona wine bottles to the
winery to be sterilized and
used again. Testing indicated
that the reused bottles were
cleaner than new glass, de-
spite requiring less detergent
than household dishwasher.

The bi-weekly Cariboo Ob-

Canadian campaigner
brings fight to Nelson

@ Activist Maude Barlow

set to give speech at
Nelson’s Savoy Inn

Maude Barlow is a nation-
ally known keynote speaker,
media personality, political ac-
tivist and outspoken crusader
for Canada.

A frequent commentator on
Newsworld, the Journal and
Canada AM., she will be
speaking in Nelson as part of
an upcoming B.C. tour.

She is the national chair-
person of the Council of Cana-
dians, a non-partisan, non-
profit organization dedicated
to fighting for an independent
and sovereign Canada. Bar-
low is also the founder of the

bell, Take Back the Nation.

Passionately devoted to cit-
izen empowerment and self-
determination, Barlow has
spoken at hundreds of confer-
ences and meetings on the
connection between human
rights, social structures and
the erosion of equality and
economic sovereignty in the
face of the corporate agenda in
North America.

She believes Canadians
have reason to examine devel-
opments such as the North
American Free Trade Agree-
ment with critical concern for
the potential impact on our
economic and social indepen-
dence.

Barlow will be speaking at
the Savoy Inn banquet room
at 7:30 0 p.m. on Sept. 16.

All interested citizens are
welcome and admission is by
donation.

The event is sponsored by
the Nelson Central America
Cappers JGroup and the CU-

server in Quesnel is recover-
ing 50 per sent of its old news-
papers by using a deposit-re-
turn system.

The program is in its sec-
ond year, and is enjoying
growing support.

The doctors offices of King
and Adamson in Surrey have
reduced office waste by 80 per
cent. They send back junk
mail; return excess packaging
to suppliers; use both sides of
paper, ship medical supplies
to Tools for Peace; operate a
compost bin, and display ed-
ucational materials.

A non -profit group has re-
cently been commissioned by
the Sunshine Coast Regional
District to survey local busi-
nesses to assess the volumes
of old corrugated containers
that are generated, in order to
plan for expanded processing
of this material.

Volunteer groups in Castle-
gar sponsor recycling events
once a month in the Safeway
parking lot, where old news-
papers, corrugated cardboard
and aluminum are collected
and delivered to the Regional
District of Central Kootenay
Recycles Depot in Nelson.
The next event is this Satur-
day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
