16 — Friday, December 21, 1990 - North Shore News Going Green calendar to be distributed to all NORTH SHORE News readers can look for an ex- tra special Christmas treat in their Sunday, Dee. 23 newspaper. The Going Green on the North Shore committee has been busy creating a [2-month calendar that will be distributed to all North Shore homes and businesses, so make sure you look for it in Sun- day’s News. The full-size calendar, printed on recycled paper, is an extension of the two three-month calendars that the Going Green campaign printed last) year. Like its predecessors, the 1991 calendar offers a number of environment tips each month to help people live a greener lifestyle. There are lots of improvements on the original versions, however, such as the inclusion of the dates of events like the North Van- couver District Centennial celebra- tions, community days and hap- penings at local parks. Aiso included is information on where to call for the answer to just about any environment ques- tion, whether your query be about natural gas vehicle conversion, recycling various materials, bus information, hzzardous wasic, local oil spills and marine pollu- tion or rusting underground storage tanks. You'll also find compost tips, a green shopping guide, recipes for non-toxic household cleansers and, last but certainly not feast, the names and addresses of all our municipal council members. ‘The Going Green calendar is the PAR K Peggy Trendell-Whittaker ECOINFO first 1991 project tor the Going Green Steering Committee and Going Green Advisory Board, the latter of which is composed of people from the three levels of government, community organiza- tions, enviranmental groups and the North Shore News.

Ret Celine Bergeron’s Grade 6 class at Larson Elementary in) North Vancouver recently embarked on a classroom project with one repre- sentative of the Going Green campaign. Their task was to come up with a list of planet-friendly Christmas gifts and activities, which they were able ta do in no time flat. Interest has been shown in taking this information as the basis of a Green Christmas poster that can be distributed around the munity next year, Here's a sampling of their sug- gestions: Need a gift for your pet? How about a bell for your cat, so it can’t sneak up on birds? Or a scratching post made out of scrap wood? The students also suggested having your animal spayed or neutered and recycling their pet food tins. Gifts for a teacher could be homemade cards or chocolates, a mug, storage boxes made out of teused containers and candles made from reused wax. Christmas-time activities could include donating money or toys to the needy, making bird feeders, planting trees, making toys out of recycled materials to give as gifts, carpooling or busing to events, helping out at the food banks or making tree ornaments out of old materials such as egg cartons. Friends and siblings might be given bus passes, personalized cloth lunch bags, a rechargeable See Green page 17 DECEMBER cam. .
