day night released by Chief Public
Health Inspector W. F. Kimmett
which inckades suggestions for
public education about alternatives
to synthetic plastics’ made of
chlorofluorocarbons (CEC's) and
hatons.
_ Kimmett suggests using paper
, C88 cartons and food packages,
’ disposable paper cups and plates,
i and avoiding the soft foams used
"ip cushions, ‘ carpet underlay’ and
_ various types of insulation.
’. Ald. Bill Bell said the city should
- show leadership in cutting back the
use of these synthetic chemicals.

“There are certain ‘simple things
we can do in (city) purchasing,”’
said Bell, such as using alternatives
to synthetics i in the city’ 's purchase
of foam’ cups if they are used in
the cafeteria.

‘ reminded council that a complete
‘ban of syathetic chemicals was not
desirable because halons were
’- present in the fire extinguishers us-
ed by the city.
