Waste Reduction Calendar April�December 2011

Peace�River Regional�District


High Hopes for 2011! How�quickly�things�in�the�Peace�River�Regional�District�change.�Over�the�past year,�there�has�been�a�lot�of�discussion�about�carbon�levels,�reducing�waste�and conserving�energy�throughout�the�province. While�there�have�been�lofty�goals�set�out�by�government,�it�is�the�small�changes made�by�you�and�me�that�will�make�a�big�difference.�Sorting�recyclables, composting�kitchen�scraps,�turning�off�the�car�and�taking�a�walk�are�all�things that�are�attainable�for�most�of�us.�By�doing�so,�we�are�investing�in�the�health�of our�communities�and�the�environment�as�a�whole. Our�goal�is�lofty:�zero�waste!�We�would�be�naive�to�think�we�could�do�it�without your�help.�As�always,�we�appreciate�your�continued�efforts�to�protect�the mountains,�rivers�and�forests�that�make�up�our�home.

The�Northern�Environmental�Action�Team�(NEAT),�on�behalf of�the�Peace�River�Regional�District,�offers�free�waste reduction�programs�to�green�your�home,�school,�classroom and�workplace. These�pRRRdy�programs�are�based�on�the�belief�that simple�steps�you�take�to�reduce�waste�in�your�everyday life�are�important�and�do�make�a�difference.�Recycling and�composting�are�within�the�reach�of�everyone�and�only take�minutes�a�day.�NEAT�offers�free�workshops,�school presentations�and�waste�assessments�as�well�as�a�wide variety�of�informational�brochures. For�details,�call�1-888-689-6328�or�visit�www.pRRRdy.com.


Landfill Sites When�you�divert reuseable�and�recyclable materials from�your�garbage,�you�help�conserve�valuable landfill�space and�keep�our�community�clean�and green. Landfills�isolate�trash�from�the�area�groundwater,�keep�it�dry�and�prevent exposure to�oxygen�-�forever.�Under�these�conditions�garbage�does�not break�down�very�much,�using�up�our�limited�landfill�capacity�quickly.�These sites require�ongoing�costly�monitoring�and,�once�full,�care�for an�indefinite period�of�time. In�addition,�landfill�gases�consist�of�carbon�dioxide�and�methane, which�are�considered�'greenhouse�gases'�that�contribute�to�climate�change. Every�effort�you�make�to�divert�waste�from�landfill�helps�our�community! REUSE�where�possible,�and�RECYCLE�as�much�as�you�can.�Not�sure�if�an item�can�be�recycled? Refer�to�the�Recycling�Guide�on�pages�14-15,�visit www.pRRRdy.com,�or�call�1-888-689-6328. For�more�information�visit�www.pRRRdy.com�or�call�1-888-689-6328.

One�Bag�Challenge Reducing�landfill�destined�waste�is a�issue�that�employs�three�full-time people�within�the�Peace�River�Regional District�alone;�it's�not�a�small�concern. Ensuring�only�the�waste�that�needs�to end�up�in�landfills�is�thrown�out�is�a shared�responsibility.�Recycling�and composting�are�easy�ways�to�reduce the�waste�we�send�to�landfill�every week. Can�you�reduce�your�household�waste to�one�bag�of�garbage�or�less�every week?�Try�it�-�you�might�find�it's�easier than�you�think!


Cool to Compost! On�average,�one�third�of�household�waste�is�made�up of�food�scraps.�Backyard�composting�is�one�way�to�deal with�these�items�and�reduce�landfill�destined�waste. How�much�do�you�know�about�composting? Myth:�Food�will�decompose�in�the�landfill. Truth:�Due�to�the�lack�of�oxygen,�helpful�bacteria�and bugs,�organics�do�not�breakdown�in�landfills.�The resulting�anaerobic�decomposition�creates�methane,�a greenhouse�gas�over�20�times�more�potent�than�CO2. Myths:�Compost�is�stinky! Truth:�When�properly�cared�for,�compost�smells like�fresh�earth.�If�yours�doesn't,�call�NEAT�at 1-866-689-6328�for�advice. Myth:�Compost�will�attract�rodents. Truth:�Keep�meat,�dairy�products�and�processed�foods out�of�the�compost.�Bury�food�scraps�as�they�are added�to�the�compost�pile,�and�rodents�will�stay�away! Planting�mint�around�your�compost�also�deters�rodents. Myth:�You�cannot�compost�in�the�north. Truth:�You�can�compost�almost�anywhere.�Ensure�your compost�is�in�a�sunny�location,�water�occasionally�& relax.�Compost�is�happening!

Peaceful Waters There�is�an�old�saying�that�if�you�drink�from�the�Mighty�Peace,�you�will�return�one�day.�But�how�much do�you�really�know�about�the�Peace�River�we�claim�as�our�own? The�Peace�River�originates�in�the�Northern�Rocky�Mountains�of�British�Columbia. �This�flowing�body�of water�covers�1,923�km�and�discharges�2,110,001.4�litres/second�into�Lake�Athabasca.�Cities�located along�the�riverbanks�are�Fort�St.�John,�BC�and�Peace�River,�AB.�There�are�also�9�provincial�parks,1�wild land�scattered�along�its�shores�and�the�traditional�home�of�the�Dunne-za�or�Beaver�people.�Originally known�as�"unjegah"�or�"large�river,"�the�Peace�River�got�its�current�name�after�the�Treaty�of�Peace�was authorized�at�Peace�Point�near�Lake�Athabasca�ending�years�of�hostility�between�the�Beaver�and�the Cree�peoples. Are�we�doing�everything�we�can�to�protect�the�Peace�River? �We�share�the�river�with�two�hydro�dams, communities,�industry,�recreational�users,�and�wildlife. �As�residents�along�the�river,�we�need�to�do our�part. �Garbage�and�gear�need�to�come�home�with�us. �We�know�that�a�single�litre�of�oil�can contaminate�a�million�litres�of�water.�Understanding�the�fragility�of�this�essential�ecosystem�requires making�protection�of�this�natural�resource�a�priority.

Waste Reduction When�you�avoid�making�“garbage”�in the�first�place,�you�don’t�have�to�worry about�disposing�or�recycling�it�later. Here�are�five�ways�to�cut�down�on�packaging�and�save resources. 1. Bring�a�cloth�bag�when�you�go�shopping. Canadians�use�about�55�million�plastic�bags�per week! 2. Use�a�travel�mug�or�reusable�bottle�for�your drinks�on�the�go.�1.6�billion�take�out�cups�are thrown�out�by�Canadians�each�year. 3. Buy�in�bulk.�Buy�the�biggest�size�possible�and serve�or�store�in�reusable�containers. 4. When�eating�out�in�a�restaurant,�bring�a�reusable container�for�leftovers. 5. Use�cloth�diapers!�Over�4�million�disposable diapers�are�discarded�per�day�in�Canada.�Wash diapers�in�cold�water�and�hang�them�to�dry! By�making�simple�decisions�everyday,�we�can�each make�a�big�difference.�Deciding�to�carry�a�travel�mug will�save�up�to�365�disposable�cups�every�year�(and keep�your�car�cleaner�too!).

Green Shopping Tips

Reducing�purchased�waste�requires�savvy�shopping�skills. 1. In�the�grocery�store,�take�a�look�at�the�package�you�are�purchasing,�and�when�possible,�choose the�more�environmentally�friendly�option.�Eggs�are�a�great�example�of�this.�Styrofoam�is�not recyclable�so�purchasing�eggs�in�cardboard�cartons�is�the�better�choice. 2. Buying�in�bulk�is�another�great�way�to�reduce�excess�packaging.�Purchasing�a�big�tub�of�yogurt and�dividing�it�into�reusable�plastic�containers�reduces�packaging,�and�ensures�each�serving�is�the perfect�size�for�its�intended�consumer. 3. When�shopping�for�non-food�items,�continue�to�hone�your�shopping�skills.�Evaluate�packaging: two�mascaras�in�one�package�has�a�lower�environmental�cost�than�individual�packaged�ones. 4. Focus�on�reusability:�empty�vitamin�bottles�are�great�for�keeping�loose�nuts�and�bolts�organized. 5. Recycling�is�the�last�step:�while�not�the�best�for�reusing,�aluminum�and�cardboard�are�both�easily recycled�and�thus�a�savvy�packaging�choice. 6. For�clothing,�consider�starting�at�the�thrift�store.�There�are�some�great�bargains�to�be�had!

Reusable�bags�have�conquered the�grocery�store,�but�do�you remember�them�when�you're running�out�for�toilet�paper�or shopping�for�clothes?�These additional�plastic�bags�can�really add�up�quickly. To�make�sure�you�are�always�prepared,�keep a�tote�in�your�purse�or�glove�compartment so�it�is�always�within�reach. For�the�occasional�time�you�get�stuck, reuse�plastic�bags�or�recycle�them�with�your soft�plastics.�After�you�are�done�grocery shopping,�throw�any�totes�that�were�used for�meat�or�fish�into�the�laundry�and�hang to�dry.

Green Christmas November�usually�means�time�to�start�thinking�of�what to�get�the�special�people�in�your�life�for�Christmas.�But Christmas�can�wreak�havoc�on�the�environment,�creating 25%�more�garbage�than�any�other�time�of�year.�So before�you�hit�the�mall�with�your�credit�card,�take�a moment�to�think�of�the�many�“green”�alternatives. 1. Buy�gift�cards�for�services�rather�than�tangible product:�a�massage,�babysitting,�or�cleaning certificate�will�be�just�as�appreciated! 2. Give�a�gift�certificate�for�a�local�event,�workshop or�course. 3. Instead�of�buying�for�everyone�in�your�family,�draw names! 4. Give�the�gift�of�charity.�Encourage�family�members to�do�a�“mini-fundraiser”�and�donate�it�to�a�local cause�in�your�family’s�name,�or�in�memory�of�a loved�one. 5. If�you�must�buy�a�gift,�purchase�locally�made wares�and�check�labels�for�environmentally�friendly products. Don’t�forget�to�bring�your�reusable�shopping�bags�to�put your�purchases�in!
