ELECTRICAL SAFETY TIPS FOR HOLIDAY DECORATING Every neighbourhood has at least one: a house on the street that lights up in splendour throughout the holiday season. Decorations are in abundance both indoors and out, and just seeing the house brings on a smile. But as beautiful as it might be, that home may also be a safety risk if the decorator hasn’t followed precautions, like these offered by CSA Group, a leader in public safety testing and certiﬁcation: Creativity is key but not at the cost of safety – Let your inner designer shine, but be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when arranging electrical items, such as lights or electronic decorations. Be sure to turn off the electricity to the supply outlet before working with outdoor wiring and never run an electrical cord through a doorway or under a carpet indoors. Fakes are no laughing matter – Your next door neighbour

dressed up as Santa is funny. Counterfeit decorations are not so funny. Look for the mark from an accredited certification organization (such as CSA Group) on animated displays, light strings and extension cords. Ensure decorations are marked and certified for outdoor use and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Keep the mood light but not fiery – Choose flame-resistant decorations and don’t place open flames or candles near flammable materials, such as wreathes, trees or paper decorations. Never nail or tack lighting strings to a wall as this may damage insulation and create a shock or fire hazard. Use insulated fasteners to hold light strings in place, rather than metal nails or tacks that could damage wiring. Cozy up – Keep warm by the fireplace but be sure your gas appliances are in good working order. If the pilot light

or flame goes out, turn the gas off and wait five minutes or longer (see the manufacturer’s instructions) before attempting to relight. Be alert for unusual odours or flames when your gas fireplace is on, often indicating that the fireplace is not operating properly. In such cases, contact your dealer or licensed technician for servicing. Overload on food, not watts – Don’t overload extension cords. Use heavy duty extension cords for high wattage decorations and large electronically-animated displays.

If you have an animal of any type that you or your child no longer cares for, have the decency to ﬁnd someone who will care about them. Remember they are there because of you not because they want to be there. They don’t have a choice. This applies to any animal or bird.

PUT THIS SUPER SODA TO WORK (NC) Baking soda has long been the star of household cleaning and personal care – in fact the number of uses for this simple box of powder is remarkable. Baking soda is a pure and natural substance, making it easy to use all over the house, even around children. It can be used in baking, as a cleaning product, and as an odour remover.Baking soda gets its name from one of its most traditional uses – as a leavening agent for baked goods -- but some of its other applications may surprise you. Here are just a few ways it can be used around the home: Baking soda is a pure and natural cleanser, making it a great alternative to harsher

chemicals, especially on clothes and other personal items. When used to clean clothes and other fabrics, baking soda balances the PH in your wash water, to get them cleaner, fresher and brighter. You can add a scoop to your regular wash cycle, or choose a detergent with baking soda already in it, like Arm & Hammer Essentials with biodegradable plant based soaps. In fact, the company has developed several laundry formulas, all containing baking soda. The versatile powder neutralizes odours so it can be used to deodorize all over the house

IT’S EASY TO RECYCLE OLD APPLIANCES From blenders to espresso makers, small household appliances are a staple of holiday gift-giving, so it’s worth a discussion about responsibility.

Despite a province-wide recycling program offering free drop-off of electrical products, some of this material still makes its way into the garbage.

treadmills and sewing machines. The program is the ﬁrst of its kind in Canada and the only government approved program for these products in B.C.

According to Statistics Canada, in 2011, Canadians spent $238.7 million on small electrical appliances in December alone, up 113 per cent from the monthly average for the year. Since these gifts often represent the replacement of old or broken models, this increase in sales can quickly translate into a surge in electrical waste generation.

“We see a spike in the amount of materials returned for recycling at our facilities after the holidays,” says Julie Robertson, program coordinator at ElectroRecycle, B.C.’s small appliance and power tool recycling program. “But the fear is that the landﬁlls are still seeing an increase too.”

To date, the program has collected more than 5.2 million kilograms of electrical products, equivalent to around 80,000 reindeer.

The Recycling Council of British Columbia (RCBC) reports that Canadians generate approximately 30 million tonnes of garbage every year and only recycle about 30 per cent of that material.

ElectroRecycle is a not-for-profit program first launched in October 2011. It provides an environmentally friendly alternative for electrical products that would otherwise end up in landfills, including blenders, vacuums,

“We know everyone is busy, especially during the holidays,” Robertson adds, “so we’ve tried to make the recycling process as easy as possible.” She points out that the program accepts more than 300 types of electrical products free-of-charge at over 135 drop-off locations around the province.
