[All] Susan Koswan's Green Scene show

[Lori Strothard]

Susan Koswan's Green Scene showThanks John- I saw the first show last week- the tour of the REEP house- it was very informative and helpful - thanks Susan!  

What bothers me is the people at the Region in charge of our waste stream, who do not do/give much community education on how to do things- ie. what to put or not put in the Bluebox, green bin, yard waste, garbage etc.. They focus their education efforts on kids in public schools I think, but there are a lot of adults out there who really don't know how to do things -you'll notice this sometimes if you have new neighbours, or in our case, young parents with kids who somehow never got the education on how to put out things, so lots of their stuff is not put out following the rules/guidelines and therefore is left at the curb each week- eg. how to bundle cardboard so they'll take it. And people move so much these days from other cities and countries, that there needs to be regular presentations on how to do all this. I think they should hold information sessions once every month or couple of months at the libraries or something, otherwise people just throw it all in garbage bags to be done with it, so a lot of stuff gets landfilled that should be recycled or composted. I know it all used to be in the front of the phonebook, but those are going by the wayside now. Hopefully people can look online easily.  Sorry- had to vent about this!
