RECYCLING AWARENESS WEEK
I recently read a now infamous article in the
New York Times w hich condemned recy cling as a
national waste of time and money, designed to make
do-gooders feel virtuous. The article gained a
tremendous amount of national attention and created
a huge backlash of criticism Recy cle bashing was
denounced as myopic and selfish Catering only to
the interests of the current consumer oriented
population The New York Times exceeded all
know n records for w ritten and verbal responses to an
article 85 to 90% of the responses were solidly
behind the importance of recycling. Numerous
television and radio show s blasted the author for his
single minded economic approach that ignored the
value of natural resources Because October 5
through 12 is Recycling Awareness Week I would
like to take a moment to reflect on why 1 know that
recy cling is an important behav ior for each of us to
embrace.
Appreciation of our natural resources is that
soft fuzzy part of recycling that seems to draw the
most criticism. We have all heard the tree hugger or
whale jokes and chances are we even agreed or at
least laughed at them. Fanaticism has that effect on
you. even if you agree in principle you just can not
condone the causc-at-all costs attitudes espoused by
some of the more verbal groups w ho receiv e a lot of
attention. I consider my self an environmentalist in
the sense that 1 believe we should be stewards of the
earth, presen ing and protecting it for future
generations. However. 1 will never make allowances
for those w ho v andalize property or equipment and I
am smart enough to differentiate between the
concepts of env ironmentalism and recy cling.
Recy cling can be a component of environmentalism
but it also stands on its own as a behav ior You do
not need to be a rabid environmentalist to believe
that recycling is a good habit. We are all aware that
it is prudent to conserve resources by using less and
to reuse and share w hat we already have Many of
these concepts became unified with the WW 11
material drives. We all consume materials and those
materials began as a natural resource somewhere It
is silly to think we will stop consuming, particularly
in a country that is consumer driven. Therefore,
recy cling those materials into new products does
make sense Recycling, like all businesses has its'
down side Yes there are transportation and
production costs, but those costs are there for virgin
and recycled products. Yes. recycling products
creates pollution, but less than when using v irgin
products Recy cling docs help to sav e natural
resources, prov ide jobs for people, teach good v alues
to our children, and help to keep all of us a little
more aware of our environment 1 also believe that
recy cling helps us to identify areas in w hich we can
reduce our consumption of products
Here in Cannon Beach we hav e one of the
longest running locally operated recycling programs
in Oregon We hav e been recognized by many State
and National organizations for our programs Other
communities use Cannon Beach as measuring stick
to ev aluate the success of their programs We hav e
prov en through our recy cling that community
involvement and grass root efforts can make a
difference Our program has continued to expand
and sene the community The first year that recycled
materials were measured and documented w as 1975
34.000 pounds of materials had been collected Half
of that was newsprint In 1995 the program recycled
727.020 pounds of material 224.000 pounds were
newsprint
Our program works. I believe one of the
reasons it works is because it is a locally operated
program and we all hav e a v ested interest in doing it
correctly It is a source of pride for most of our
residents
I think we can all be commemorated during
Recycling Awareness Week for our continuing
efforts to recy cle
This colum n will be very short this month simply
because 1 am incredibly lame It is the 25th of
September (5 days past the deadline) as I write this,
and I know that the Reverend Hults is tapping hts
fingers slowly and looking solemnly over the tops ol
his glasses. If you have ever had Billy look ot the tops
of hts specs at you then you truly don’t know what it
means to be put in your place. So 1 hope he prints
this and does not think too ill of me

T yee 1993 W illa m ettet Vally Pinot Noir: Tyee is a
cool little winery owned by excellent people They
are a small place that churns out solid and often times
very good wines Their distinct Northwesten art on the
label makes them easy to pick out. This beauty from
probably the best v intage of the 90’s (don t let the
splashy 94’s fool you) is a great buy at $13. Big, solt
cherry fruits with some earthy tannins toward the
finish make for a sm ooth sipper. Ready to drink now

B eringer 1993 K nights Valley C abenet Sauvignon:
1 am breaking my own unwritten rule by mentioning a
California wine. However, this Cab is such a great buy
that I couln’t ignore it Many California Cabs give
you less than what you bargained for or are wines that
aren’t ready to drink for a while This wine is plenty
ready to dunk and has lovely cherry -berry qualities, a
nice touch of sweet oak, some earthy complexities and
gripping but not overbearing tannins For $16 it is
very hard to do better than this.

C h a te au Benoit 1994 Pinot Noir: A big surptse here
The prodeer has been notoriously medicore over the
years but this wine may represent a new commitment
to producing better quality wines It has excellent
intensity although there is a drop otf in the nnd-palate
of the wine but the finish is bold and quite spicy. Nice
bright fruits shine through on the end A very good
effort and definitely worth checking out
