One of these bills is House Bill 3482 which would establish a resource conservation trust fund. This fund would be separate from the general fund. This trust fund would author ize DEQ to sell $300,000 in reve nue bonds. Half of these monies will be used for parks, natural areas, nongame and endangered species habitats. The other half will go to provide economic incentives through waste diversion credits to recyclers, waste collectors and processors of waste materials. Other funds will be given to develope ways to market recycled products and conservation pro grams. There are currently thirty representatives and seventeen senators which are in support of house bill 3482. Representative Larry Sowa (D) of Oregon City and Senator Joyce Cohen of Lake Oswego. Some of the supporters of House Bill 3482 are the John Inskeep Environmental Learning Center; Gage Industries, a plastic manufacture in Lake Oswego, Clackamas County; and the Ore gon Plastic Industries Public Af fairs Committee. Supporters of House Bill 3482 reason for supporting this bill are that it will bring plastic products into the recycling system and provides economic incentives to establish effective recycling pro grams which do not depend oh a market which may fluctuate. Another of the eighteen bills which is currently being debated is Senate bill990which would ban the use of polystyrene. Herrmann is trying to get the bill amended so that instead of banning styrofoam making it bio degradable meaning that it would disintegrate with in a set amount of time. “I thinkbusiness is starting to realize that the products which would replace polystyrene would be just as bad,” said Herrmann. For example the plastic rings which hold six-packs together would be made so it would photo- bio-degrade within a hundred and twenty days. “Animals become entangled with the six-pack rings and the rings fragmenting would put an end to this problem,” said Herrmann. Herrmann does not feel that an out and out ban on polystyrene is the right answer, but that devel oping a way to recycle to polysty rene is.
