GREEN BIN PARTICIPATION IS EXCELLENT

As per today's Elmira Independent, the news is all good in relation to the recently introduced to Woolwich, Green Bins. On page 3 , Chuck Kuepfer quotes a Region of Waterloo staffer "You look down the streets and you just see green bin after green bin." For me this is validation that Canadian citizens want to do more and will do more voluntarily for the environment. What is required is a little leadership to show us the way. Without my fully understanding either the costs or the politics of the situation, nevertheless I have to say that this is an environmental area in which the Region of Waterloo should take pride. To date, 196 tonnes of waste has been collected from the four townships and diverted away from being landfilled. Kudos to both the Region and to our local citizens.
