WELCOME TO ALL OUR OUT OF TOWN RECYCLERS

Being green can be easier than you think. Try these quick tips today:

1. Remove cell phone, iPod and laptop chargers from the wall when not charging. Chargers keep draw-ing electricity even if the device isn’t charg-ing.

2. When on the go and needing the conve-nience of bottled water there are envi-ronmentally respon-sible choices such the world’s fi rst carbon negative bottled water, Fiji Water. Don’t forget to recycle your empty bottles.

3. Place a compost bin outside and turn

food waste into valu-able fertilizer for the garden.

4. Place recyclable shopping bags in car, desk and even in your purse, so there is no excuse to use plastic.

5. Repair that leaky faucet. A dripping tap can waste 800 L of water a month.

Five things to do today to be “green”(NC)—It’s tempting to cut corners in

a down economy, but that’s the last thing one should do in the construction of a new house. Owning a home with superior ef-ficiency will pay high dividends for years to come.

“A green home uses less energy and natural resources,” says Todd Blyth at Nu-dura, the manufacturer of insulated concrete forms. “It creates less waste and is healthier and more comfortable for the occupants. Equally important benefits include lower energy bills, reduced greenhouse gas emis-sions, and less exposure to mold, mildew and other indoor toxins. As a result, the net cost of owning a sustainable home is com-parable to cost of a conventional one.”

The four key areas to ensure the best human and environmental health are: water efficiency, energy efficiency, material se-lection, and indoor environmental quality. Here’s a useful little checklist as a guide-line:

• Use LEED certified materials: This internationally acclaimed benchmark by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design provides a third-party certification program, setting an international benchmark for the construction and operation of high performance sustainable buildings.

• Start with concrete, not wood: With concrete walls by Nudura, combined with their ceiling and floor technology, you’ll get several key green components all in one. The system consists of stay-in-place, inter-locking concrete forms. With this Lego-like method (of reinforced concrete sandwiched between two layers of expanded polystyrene

foam insulation) the total building envelope stands to be up to nine times stronger, far more fire resistant, and far more sound insu-lated. Furthermore, this innovation (nudura.com) is design-friendly for architects, much faster for builders, creates less construction waste, and provides defence against toxicity and mold that is so often a associated with traditional wood framed walls. And of equal importance, it’s a building method that will deliver energy savings of up to 70 percent.

• Aim for indoor water conservation: Ask about greywater irrigation and rainwa-ter harvesting.

• Insist on energy efficiency: In addition to a concrete structure, some of the more popular choices for conservation include: an ‘earth sheltered’ architectural design; installing efficient ducts, lighting and fans; planning for gas or solar hot wa-ter, heating and cooling systems.

• Ask for green materials: Struc-tural choices range from fume-free paints, finishes and adhesives, to sustainable floor coverings, sidings and trim.

(NC)—With the April showers bringing May flowers there is no better reminder of the hottest consumer trend this year: Going green. Environmentally friendly and thoughtful gifts are popular this Mother’s Day. Here are some ideas to help you go green with your gift to mom:

For the fashionable mom – Eco-Friendly tote bags. Coming in a range of colours and some from well known designers, you can as-semble a collection of cute, small and inexpen-sive reusable enviro-carriers for mom. These portable little bags are practical but more importantly show how hip and environmentally savvy mom is.

For the practical mom – energy saving household products. Mom probably hasn’t

made the move from her old countertop appli-ances or light bulbs to the more environmen-tally friendly, energy saving versions, so why not help get her started. Even more appealing, many of the newest energy saving products come in modern designs and trendy colours – like a pink toaster.

For the compassionate mom – a donation to start a garden. Christian Children’s Fund of Canada, an international children’s char-ity, allows you to make a gift donation in your mother’s name to buy seeds, farm tools, and other growing supplies for other moms in poor countries around the world. Simply by visit www.ccfcanada.ca and select a gift in your mom’s name.

Too many, who are not paying much attention to what is go-

ing on in the world around them, may not understand why saving water is so important. It may seem funny, but even though our planet is covered in as much water as it is, the amount of fresh water available is starting to be-come less and less as the polar icecaps melt and the fresh water mixes with the salt water. Most would understand that ocean water is not drinkable be-cause it contains too much salt for our bodies to handle. This is where one of life’s greatest ironies really does play a big role. As time goes on with glob-al warming causing severe droughts in many areas around the world, less and less fresh water is available and this is a concern. Without fresh water, much of land life will die and humans will be no exception.

Now that it is established that the world’s fresh water reserves are growing smaller every year, here are some tips on how to conserve the pre-cious fresh water we still have:

1. Fix all leaking taps in the house.

2. Check pipes for leaks that would normally go unnoticed.

3. Have shorter showers.4. Don’t let the water run on high

when adjusting the temperature. If having a bath, fill the tub 1/3 full with water that is a bit too hot and wait as it cools down to the preferred temperature.

5. Install a water-saving shower-

head. 6. Fix the toilet it if runs continu-

ously.7. Only use dishwashers if they

are fully loaded.8. Only use the washing machine

if you have a full load.9. Limit the amount of water you

use in a bath. The tub should only be a third full.

10. Don’t let the water run while you are shaving, brushing your teeth or washing your face.

11. Hand wash dishes by wash-ing them in a tub of hot soapy wa-ter rather than letting the water run. Rinse under a slow flow of water af-terwards.

12. Fill a jug with drinking water and keep it in the fridge so you don’t have to let the water run to get cold.

13. Try to avoid flushing the toilet when you can. Only flush when necessary.

14. Try not to wash the car as often. When you do, don’t let the hose run when applying soap. It’s best to use a bucket and sponge.

15. Don’t wash the side-walks or drive-ways with the hose. Sweeping

is the best method to conserving wa-ter.

16. Only water the lawn when needed.

17. Water the lawn at cool times of the day so less water evaporates and more goes into the lawn.

18. Put mulch or wood chips at the base of trees and plants in your yard to reduce evaporation of water to de-crease the amount of watering you would need to do otherwise.

19. Don’t cut your grass too short. Longer lawn grass lessens evapora-tion and the less watering you will have to do.

20. Put out a rain barrel to water your plants and gardens with.

an idea that SELLS.

You’ve got it

(NC)—Coast-to-coast, Canadians are searching for new ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Springtime provides an opportunity to extend environmen-tally-friendly prac-tices to the outdoors, but many homeown-ers question whether they can achieve lush results without pest-fighting chemi-cals.

“There’s a myth that eco-friendly gardening equals sparse lawns and feeble plants,” said Mark Cullen, Home Hardware’s gar-

dening expert and author of The Cana-dian Garden Primer. “Homeowners can create a healthy and natural environ-ment by focusing on eliminating toxins through pesticide-free solutions and incorporating robust native and indig-enous plants that do not need an abun-dance of water to survive the summer heat.”

Mark Cullen gives gardeners the facts when it comes to gardening:

False. Conserve

water by using mulch to keep soil moist, capturing rainfall in water barrels and plac-ing soaking hoses in your garden to uniformly soak the soil. For best results, install hoses beneath a layer of mulch to further reduce mois-ture loss.

False. Think lo-cal and cultivate na-tive and indigenous plants to increase natural biodiversity cycles. Best suited to survive local weath-er conditions, native plants also have a greater tolerance

towards local pests.

False. Cultivate an organic food source and grow vegetables and herbs in your garden or in a container. Not only is this a practi-cal approach, but the plants will comple-ment your overall garden and ease the pressure on your bottom line.

False. Use compost materials to help cultivate your garden by naturally enriching the soil with nutrients that will enable your plants to thrive.

Battery Recycling: Help Your Environment

Batteries may contain harmful metals and chemi-cals such as nickel cadmium, alkaline, mercury, nickel metal hydride and lead acid, which can contami-nate the environment if not disposed properly. For ex-ample, when batteries containing cadmium is used in landfi lls, they will eventually dissolve and release the toxic substance that can seep into water supplies, posing serious health hazards for the population. This is why recycling batteries has become so important because it helps prevent pol-lution, and also saves resources.

The Recycling Process:

First of all, the batteries to be recycled are sorted ac-cording to chemistries such as nickel-cadmi-um, nickel-metal-hy-dride, lithium, alkaline etc. The combustible material, such as plas-tics and insulation, is then removed with a gas fi red thermal oxidizer, which is the fi rst step in the recycling process. Most recycling plants have scrubbers where the gases from the thermal oxidizer are neutralized to remove pollutants, producing clean, naked cells that contain precious metal content.

The metal in

the batteries are then heated to liquefy, after they have been hacked into little pieces. Black slag left by burned out non-metallic substances are scraped off with a slag arm, and the dif-ferent alloys that settle according to weight are skimmed off. Some plants pour the liquid metals directly into (65 pounds) or ‘hogs’ (2000 pounds) without separating on site, which are then shipped to metal recovery plants to produce nickel, chro-mium and iron re-melt alloy for the manufac-turing of other metal products.

B.C. Leads Canada in Innovative Uses for Recycled Tires

Vancouver, B.C. – Long before being “green” was at the forefront of people’s minds, Tire Stewardship BC (TSBC) was leading British Columbia down a path of sustain-ability with an innovative tire-recycling program that has placed the province amongst Canada’s environ-mental leaders.

This spring, the not-for-profit so-ciety established in 2007 to manage British Colum-bia’s tire recy-cling program, which was intro-duced in 1991, will reach its

50-millionth tire landmark as part of the program. That’s enough rubber to form a single line of tires laid flat stretching around the earth at the equator.

For every new tire sold in the province the re-tailer collects, on behalf of TSBC, an Advance Dis-posal (‘eco’) Fee. The money col-lected is used to pay for transport-ing and recycling B.C.-generated scrap tires, ensur-ing they are used in environment-friendly ways rather than ending up in landfills. Some unique uses

for recycled tires include:

• Playgrounds – The East Koote-nay School Dis-trict has installed three playgrounds that each feature a five-inch thick “pour in place” rubber surface made from B.C. scrap tires. Unlike traditional play-ground surfaces made from pea gravel or wood chips, the rubber surface provides superior safety by cushioning falls. It is also completely wheel-chair-accessible.

• Synthetic turf fields – One of the largest users

of recycled tires is the artificial turf industry when installing playing fields.

• Recreation facility flooring – Recycled tire rubber is an ideal material from which to make flooring compo-nents that are, at the same time, resilient, durable and highly slip resistant.

• Flooring and mats for agricultural and industrial use – A unique and little known use, agri-cultural flooring mats made from recycled tires have been proven

to increase animal comfort while providing a dura-ble, easy-to-clean surface for the farmer.

• Asphalt rubber – Some highway depart-ments already use

ground rubber in mixes for repair-ing cracks or in rubberized asphalt in roadway con-struction.

More than 80% of the 40,000 tonnes of scrap tires collected

each year in B.C. are recycled into products, with 40-million pounds of crumb rubber produced annual-ly. The remainder is used as a fuel supplement.

Putting a recycling program in place in your business makes good busi-ness sense. Every tonne of recycled offi ce paper saves approximately 17 trees. Re-cycling will help lower op-erating costs through more effi cient use of materials and resources, save waste disposal costs and show your customers that you are environmentally conscious.

Steps to start recycling: • Look at your garbage.

Adopt practices that will re-duce waste and toxicity.

• Determine if products are necessary before pur-chasing.

• Reduce the amount of unnecessary packaging. Choose products with little or no packaging, purchase only what you need and buy items in bulk to reduce cost and packaging waste.

• Arrange to have your supplier take back packag-ing for reuse.

• Consider sharing a recycling bin with a neigh-bouring business if pos-

sible. This will save you space, cut costs and in-crease your overall recy-cling efforts.

• Ask your recycler for signs and labels and clearly mark all recycling bins with the types of materi-als that can and can not be recycled.

• Ensure all materials accepted in your recycling program are recycled 100 per cent of the time.

• Sell or donate goods rather than discarding them.

• Education of your employees is the key to success of any program. A clearly marked bin lets employees know what can and can not be recycled.

• Encourage employees to pack lunches in reusable plastic containers and use utensils that can be washed. Provide an area for clean up.

• Use refi llable pens, pencils, coffee mugs.

• Use e-mail or voice mail instead of inter-offi ce memos.

• Encourage customers to bring reusable bags.

Here’s how it worksSimply recycle as much waste as you can and dispose of what’s left for just $1 per bag or a set fee based on volume.

Step 1: Combine your recyclable items (see the blue bag shown below) in a single see-through blue or clear bag — no sorting needed — and place the garbage that’s left in your garbage container or bag. Remember to keep glass and cardboard separate and place in separate bins at the recycling depot.

Step 2: Purchase prepaid Eco-cardsavailable at municipal offi ces and more than 40 local retailers in values

of $10, $20 and $50 (see over for list). Fees for larger loads start at $5 for a short-box pickup truck and $10 for a full-sized pickup truck. To make it easier, local businesses and larger waste generators can set up an account instead of purchasing Eco-cards.

Step 3: Dispose of your garbage after presenting your Eco-card to the attendant who will punch the appropriate number ofholes in your card and simply drop your recycling in the bins provided. The more you recycle, the longer your Eco-card will last and the more you’ll save!
