Semi-annual II English - World Fisheries Trust

As for recyclable/reusable materials, they have another specific area, where we heard a new
idea that defeats the concepts of recycling, where we longed to reach a national goal: recycling
costs Canadians $90.00 per ton, doesn’t generate revenue and only [creates] employment
indirectly (up to as much as 2000 for the whole area), yet society pays this cost by having opted
to recycle.
Today, a cleaner, less expensive and adequate solution would be to incinerate and generate
electricity, assuming the use of adequate filters.
This extraordinary, 36-hectare landfill has been in use since 1955 and is projected to be used
until 2046.
Suggested applications
We are certainly beginning on the road to recycling and the Associations of Garbage Collectors.
Três Marias used up ten hectares over eight years, before starting a controlled landfill (burying
in trenches) and, with an agreement with a technical team to install a Sanitary Landfill, we will be
able to make observations and suggest some new innovations and measures.
October 25 – Goldstream – Howard English Hatchery Volunteer Association
The District Water Reservoir has coliform contaminated water, and is installing the biggest ultraviolet
treatment installation in America.
The Fish Hatchery and Tagging Station is very small and extremely efficient, due again to the
individual interest of a sport fisherman who brought friends together around the preservationist
ideal. The fish engineer, Peter McCully, coordinates the work with a significant group of
volunteers, who take turns at work depending on the activities.
Tagging technology is advanced, but still very expensive. Coded wire tags [placed] in the nose
give the date, species and stock; clipped fins show that they’ve been tagged, [while] partially cut
ones that pass through for inspection can be fished.
There is interchange with First Nations people, sport fishermen and the volunteer group, to
share knowledge and participate in preservation activities.
Applications
Come up with ways for NGOs and people interested in the socio-environmental projects to be
able to be more involved and put together a team of volunteers.
October 26 – A free Sunday
The richness and beauty of the city that even works on Sundays, offering all services and
products, made me feel like I was walking in a film, with its varying degrees of reality. Even if it
is the sensation of being a film, my part is to simply walk in it.
