Did you now that if you are an average size adult weighing about 150 pounds and living in Sanpete 500 County you will discard about pounds of trash during the next year? That means of our size an average will discard about pounds of trash annually However hard as this is to believe the facts are true What is even more incredible is to think of these figures in terms of the entire population of the United States Where do we put all of this trash? Ninety percent of the trash we generate ends up in our local landfills We have just opened a new landfill in Sanpete County Wehaveplcnty ofroom When the present landfills are full we will just open new ones Right? The answer is not so simple What to do with our anymore trash is not just a problem for Sanpete planned Half of the landfills we have now in the United Sates will be full in three years unless we do something to change how we deal with trash I don’t know about you but the ideaof having someoneelse’s trash in our county is not what I want to family hear 6000 We can reduce the amount of trash we produce by recycling More than half our trash can be recycled Even if nothing is done about what we consume we can cut the amount of trash we produce in half by County While new landfills opening might currently be an option here it is not an option elsewhere in the United States What is going on elsewhere will eventually affect what we do here waste is a major Discarding concern for most urban centers looking for other places to dump their trash Why not Sanpete County? They have plenty of space recycling By changing our habits as a we will produce even consumer less trash Everyone can help by separating their trash and recycling glass and computer paper newspaper and plastic in separate aluminum containers People can also set up a composte for all organic trash To reduce consumption use mugs and refill cups instead of paper or styrofoam and rags instead of paper towels buy products in bulk with less packaging use the reverse side of paper and take one’s own shopping bags to the store Together we can make a difference People are encouraged to attend the recycling kick off on October 13 For more information contact Toni Pickall Snow College §1 0)©©iF® People once anyone put Library Grant continued See us about a demonstration drive in a John Deere 55 Series 105- - to tractor Because the best way to understand a tractor is to drive it and compare it We’ll also fill you in on: finance charges until March 1 1991 or special financing or cash discount FREE Customer Protection Plan for your new tractor EXTRA savings on John Deere hay and tillage tools NO For qualified buyers Offers may be withdrawn any time GUNNISON IMPLEMENT 62 South Main - Gunnison 1 8:00 am to 5:30 pm Monday Friday 8:00 am to :00 pm Saturday iWXlmW'Xmm conducted by the Utah State LiThe community brary Division libraries are then evaluated and rewarded with financial grants based on progress made This state grant is separate from the federal Title I LSCA Library Improvement grant Both are administered by the Utah State LiThe LSCA grant is brary Division of to provide for improvement etc Gunnison physical facilities Civic Library applied for $5000 to update and expand its Reference which is badly outdated Section The grant has been approved and as soon as the funds are released upgrading the Reference Section will It is a selec- proceed immediately from live grant given page on the 1 basis of Total of the 2 grants for fiscal is $11200 Grant funds must be spent for the purposes inWhen this is done Gunnitended son will have a civic library equal or superior to any community of its size in the state Because of limited funds and open time the libraries of both the local high school and elementary school are unable to fully meet the of their students They depend more and more on service from the Gunnison Civic Library Upgrading the Reference Collection will be greatly appreciated by patrons of all ages needs PO Box 187 - Gunnlaon Utah 84834 Phona The Gunnison Valley Newt la published each Wednesday for $1200 Utah and $ 4 60 per year out of state by the Gunnison Valley News Utah Second dess postage la paid at Gunnison Utah 84634 POSTMASTER: Send address changes to the Gunnison Valley News PO Box 187 Gunnison Utah 84634 Single copy $36 Publisher: Kevin Ashby Editor: Kevin Ashby Correspondents: Axtell: Rllla Dee Sorenson Centerfleld: Fayette: Ruby Hammond Gunnison: Helen Rasmussen US believed drinking poison into them PS per year in Gunnison sts'tmerrts glasses made in Venice would break H |
