Barney fears for future (continued from page 1) Cook said things are already being done in the California school system. “A grass roots effort is being made in the schools in California. In Palo Alto, high school graduate girls would go into school, to teach about global issues.” Duncan reported, the state Environmental Protection Agency has now taken on a major conservation project which has worked in one test schooL The students make an effort to stave energy and 20 percent of the savings to the school goes back into student activities. “It is amazing what has happened in the Portland schools, as far as energy con servation,” Duncan observed.

Barney praised Oregon for its new requirement that students pass a global educa tion class before high school graduation. “I think that is a very important development. One that I hope many other states will follow,” he said. Barney said many pro blems the world feces can’t just be left up to the leaders. If something is going to happen- a major change in policy-it’s got to come about as a result of the awareness in the popula tion as a whole, he said. Barney said, “I don’t think it’s possible just to pick out a handful of people and say, well let’s change policies. That won’t-do it. If the elected of ficials get too far away from the way the public thinks, they won’t be in office any more,” he said. Herrmann suggested, ‘There are basic things that all of us can do and we shouldn’t expect the government to do it for us. There are things we can do, such as intensive com posting of our debris which we’ve been doing that for seven years up here at the Col lege.” “We take all the refuse from the College and compost it,” Herrmann added. Barney stated that until we get our problems solved, we have to- cut back some privileges we have become us ed to—such as driving big cars. “Can you allow people to get up in a boat that’s rocking?” Barney asked. “If you want to preserve freedoms, if you want to preserve rights, you’ve got to do something to make sure that society doesn’t find itself in a rocking boat.” Barney stated that Oregon City’s Resource Recovery plan is something that more cities throughout the country need. ‘This whole country is running out of Waste disposal space. You might say it’s because we all go to the stores and we buy things with so much packaging. ‘The old Minute Maid orange juice container I think is the ultimate example of a high waste packaging product, ft’s got a bottom that’s made of one alloy, a top that’s made out of a different alloy, the sides are made out of cardboard, and plastic on the outside. Now you try and take that all apart.” In spite of all the pro blems, the global future still looks hopeful, Barney said, “ft’s through knowledge that we have the exposure to the problem and we have the op portunity io take action.” ■Senate retreat tops ASG meeting agenda ^By J.
