We need recyclable packaging

Dear Editor: :

One of your readers has taken
me to task for being in favor of
packaging. ‘‘Shame on the likes of
Ald. Ernie Crist and his kind who
think wasteful production is nec-
essary, because industry can’t be
trusted to wash their battles,”
stated Tae Rim Yoon.

Did I say this? Yes, ! did. I like
packaging. Packaging protects,
packaging is hygienic, packaging
is civilized.

The problem is not packaging
per se, but too much and often
the wrong kind. But, sitice your
reader has asked for positive solu-
tions, let me state them again.

What is needed is government
legislation compelling manufac-
turers to: (a) produce packaging
that is recyclable; and (b) re-use
recyclable material in the produc-
tion of new products and, by do-
ing so, provide a guaranteed mar-
ket for the recyclable material.

As of this moment, neither is
the case. The result is utter chaos.
The taxpayer is being grandly
hoodwinked. He is paving fo7 col-
lection through the blue-box pro-
gram believing that what he puts
in there is being recycled when, in
fact, most of it js being dumped
for lack of markets.

He is paying for the bureaucra-

Thanks to community

Dear Editor:

We wish to extend our heartfelt
thanks to the North Shore News
and all the wonderful people in
the cormmunity who helped make
our grand opening such a success.
A special thanks to all the people
who sent beautiful floral ar-
rangements and the Parkside Deli
. for their superb catering.

tt was a great opportunity for

us to meet local residents and feel
the warmth of the support from
the business community.

Thank you, North Vancouver,
for making the ‘‘new kids on the
block”’ feel very welcome.

cy to administer it. And to top it
off he is also paying for the glossy
brochures telling everyone how
wonderful everything works.

As | have said, it’s a scam and
it’s chaotic. And how would ap-
propriate legislation solve it? For
one thing it would not be neces-
sary to re-use glass bottles and
take unnecessary health risks.
After being dropped into a con-
tainer on the way to the super-
market, the glass would be col-
lected by the manufacturer and
made into new products, to use an
example.

Instead of paying Tom Sawyer
for painting his fence he would
pay us. Now that is what I call
solving a problem and saving tax-
payers’ money at the same time.
