Kids come
up with
compost cash

THE LOCAL environment is getting
a boost with the help of students
from Pauline Johnson Elementary
School in West Vancouver.

Grade 6 students Jessie Young,
Andrew Hogan and Leila Shiste!
started a school environment club,
which at the end of the school
year boasted 27 students from dif-
ferent classes who met = every
week,

“We thought it would be a
good idea to help clean up the
school and the environment,” said
Andrew.

One major achievement to date
has been the purchase of a cedar
compester, which was bought
with the funds raised by a school
auction.

And at the end of the year, the
whole school participated in an
Environment Day that had them
picking up litter at Ambleside
Park, and sorting out the
recyclables.

Goals for the club include adop-
ting an endangered species, pro-
tecting an acre o1 more of Amazon
rainforest, asiding bottle recycling
to their paper recycling, writing
letters in support of environmental
initiatives and urganizing natuse
walks on the weekend.

THE FIRST natural gas bus began service recently as a joint project of
B.C. Transit, Energy, Mines and Resources Canada, B.C. Gas and IMW
Compressors.

The bus, which will operate in Port Coquitlam, is being evaluated for a
30-day period. tf successful, four more buses will be converted to natural
gas.
A high-speed fueling system is being installed at the Port Coquitlam
Transit Centre. it will allow a natural gas bus to be filled in about four
minutes, the same time it takes to fill a diesel bus.

The new bus uses diesel fuel for start-up and idling, but once under
way the power is provided by natural gas, a clean-burning fuel that is
rnore environmentally sound than diesel.

SOME PEOPLE concerned about everpackaging and chemica!s used in
their personal care products have turned to deodorant stones.

The natural stones are made from potassium sulphate and other min-
eral salts that are crystallized over a period of months, then hand-shaped
and smoothed.

When wet and spread on the body, the stones provide deodorant
control by inhibiting bacterial growth. They do not contain harsh chem-
icals, perfurnes, oils. emulsifiers, alcohol, propellants or aluminum
chlorohydrate.

Deodorant stones are available in many health food stores, or by caif-
ing Bianca Hall at 926-7828.
