Chapel Hill…..Earth Day Celebrations at Carolina Meadows will take place on Tuesday, April 24, in the Auditorium. After a campus bird-walk at 8:00am, the Recycling Committee will host talk by expert re-cycler, Richard Sloane of the National Institute of Environmental Health (NIEHS), recently featured in the Herald —Sun. His presentation, at 10:45 am in the Auditorium, will focus on the best techniques known at present to Reduce, Re-Use and Recycle all kinds of materials. The aim is to highlight problems surrounding landfills, leachate, and to discuss litigation about land use.

   Representatives from other CCRC’s, Carol Woods, The Forest at Duke, Windsor Point and possibly the newly planned retirement community at Meadowmont, The Cedars, have been invited and many plan to attend.

   Muriel Williman, Chatham County Recycling Coordinator has been invited to talk about what Chatham County is doing, as well as representatives from Orange and Durham Counties.

   Jane Sharp, newly tapped Recycling Coordinator at Carolina Meadows says, " In view of the growing population of active retirees, the political and public clout of these energetic seniors can be used to advocate for recycling commitment from everyone."

   Joe Zannini, Director of Carolina Meadows Physical Plant and Miriam Murdock, outgoing Recycling Coordinator for Carolina Meadows, the original recycler have worked together for several years to promote positive attitudes towards environmental uses of our natural resources.
