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.

n000 report.
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.”
