Reducing trash a
good first step
It’s a burning question facing our politicians: what to do with
our trash?
Besides reducing, recycling and reusing, the question
whether to incinerate or dump culminates with a vote next
Friday as Metro Vancouver considers a trash plan that calls for
a $470-million incinerator.
It’s a complex decision, and our political representatives
have no easy task. But the solution starts with all of us by
reducing our own waste.
And we can do plenty. Recycling options now abound. Many
of them are curbside, while other items—from motor oil to
computers—can be recycled at various collection locations.
There are still items that can’t be recycled, and that will prob-
ably always be the case.
But senior governments can reduce that waste by refusing
to allow plastic products, for example, into our province that
can’t be recycled. Investing in recycling research to give local
and regional governments the tools to ramp up recycling
programs is another way.
Regardless of how this region will dispose of our waste in the
future, we can all do small things right now.

THANK YOU RICHMOND SUNSET ROTARY CLUB
THE GIC
The Richmond Sunset Rotary Club does so much for Richmond. Whether it is their annual
Winter Wonderland project that contributes thousands of dollars to many worthwhile
organizations or the special Easter Lunch with our Seniors, Richmond Sunset Rotary Club
has taken a ‘long-term vision’ with its efforts to make Richmond a better place to live, work
and play. They have done this through their establishment of not just one, but a number of
very important permanent endowment funds at the Richmond Community Foundation. Funds ALTERNATIVE
like the Richmond Sunset Rotary Club’s Annual Scholarship Program, the Terra Nova Park
Advanced Coloring +
Legacy Fund, the Rick Hansen Community Accessibility Endowment Fund to name a few. It is
groups like the Richmond Sunset Rotary Club, that make a real difference in our Community!
