GRADE 7 students at Brooksbank Elementary School decided
to raise money for the World Wildlife Fund’s Guardian of the
Amazon Rainforest program after studying endangered species
in their class. The money they made selling their homemade
cookies and Fimo brooches will be used to protect four acres
of rainforest and adopt some fish at the Vancouver Aquarium.

Adopt a trail this week

THE FEDERATION of Mountain Clubs of British Columbia has declared
the week of April 8 to 14 “Adopt-a-Trail’’ Week in B.C.

The Adopt-a-Trail program has been running for several years in co-
operation with the B.C. Ministry of Parks, the Ministry of Forests and
many municipalities.

The program encourages volunteer groups to take on the maintenance
and care of a hiking trail or past of a trail in communities throughout the
province. Such programs are very popular in the United States and
quickly catching on in B.C.

“Adopting a trail gives a group the cpportunity to enjoy the outdoors
together through meaningful exercise, learning new skills and par-
licipating in keeping the outdoors and wilderness in British Columbia a
great and safe place to visit,” says the federation.

“There are many popular trails, and little government money for their
maintenance. We congratulate those many enthusiastic volunteer groups
who have already adapted or are maintaining a trail, but we need many
more participants.”

Church groups, schools, Legion branches, service clubs and groups of
friends are among those people who have already adopted trails.

For more information, contact the Federation of Mountain Clubs at
737-3053.

Watch for smart fridges

ENERGY-EFFICIENT, ‘Power Smart’ fridges can now be easily iden-
tified by shoppers thanks to new rebate labels.

B.C. Hydro’s Power Smart program is marking the most efficient
fridges with a pink $65 sticker; standard Power Smart fridges will be
marked with a yellow sticker and are eligible for a $40 rebate.

Power Smart is aiming to attract more customers to the most efficient
models and discourage them from buying inefficient ones that don’t
qualify for a Power Smart rating.

Since Power Smart was introduced into B.C. two years ago, the
number of Power Smart models for sale has climbed from just a few to
over 250.

98-GREEN
compost line
rings on

JUDGING BY the phone ringing
off the hook in the Going Green
Compost Project office, there are a
good many would-be composters
on the North Share,

Since the backyard composting
pilot project was announced just
over two weeks ago, compost
coordinator Elspeth Hayter has
received over 300 phone calls
from interested customers.

Up to 1,000 composters are be-
ing sold, delivered and installed to
North Shore residents, who have
their pick of five different com-
poster styles,

While Hayter is pleased by the
response, she does have one re-
quest of callers to the 98-GREEN
(984-7336) compost phone line: if
you are connected with the Going
Green answering machine, please
leave your name, address and
phone number in as clear a voice
as possible.

She is hoping that Pam
McDonald of Deep Cove will call
again, because unfortunately
Hayter couldn't make out her
phone number.

The highschool students who
will be visiting customers to help
them choose a composter have
received the names of the first 125
callers, and should be contacting
them this week.

To reserve a composter, call
98-GREEN while supplies last.
