recycling

This week the town of Stony has started a new initiative to reduce waste--they've given us new garbages, will only be picking them up every 2 weeks, but are now picking up organicarts year round. I was curious about some of this and did some digging on the website, and I have to say I am really impressed with the towns goals for being much more eco friendly. One thing that has interested me for awhile is our enviroment and what we're doing to fix problems, not just trying to be 'less bad.' I can't wait to see the towns plans in action! And what a standard to set for not only the rest of the province, but for the country as well. For instance,when I traveled in BC in the last 2 years I really noticed that for a place that advertises being so beautiful they are REALLY behind in recycling, garbage reduction and alot of other initiatives that alberta is kicking butt on. And I"m from BC so for me to say that is hard!! Hopefully just as we change as individuals and influence them to change, we as a town and province can do the same for our country, and the world.
