UE, These are but two of the many facts to be found in “Glass Containers and the En- vironment’, a booklet just. released by the Glass Container Council of Canada. may surprise some people. Ina survey of six cities -- Toronto, Calgary, Montreal, Vancouver, St. Catharines and Kitchener, Ontario -. glass and ceramics accounted for about 5,6 percent of all municipal solid waste. Paper was highest, with 53.1 percent, while food wastes was in second place with 22,2 cent. Nationally, it is estimated glass containers account. for of solid waste and about three percent by item count of litter, In expressing concern about 5 6the solid waste problem and the * responsible roles government, industry and the public can ply in conquering this en-. vironmental problem, booklel suggests “governments should carry out.,.an ‘en- vironmental compatibility factor analysis’ of all the materials and objects which | show up in solid waste in order to provide factual, realistic information in which to base | priorities for the future." An ECF analysis would study all components of solid wastes according to such factors as known world reserves of non- renewable raw materials; energy consumption involved at , every stage of production from original state to Final product; air, water, soll and “other negative effects on the en- s vironment; resulting potential only about4,.5 percent by weight - - of the .. quantities ofa product ending | ‘up as solid waste; case with 1.7°-which a‘ product. can’ be‘ “recycled; quantity of a product actually being recycled after consumer use; and the ultimate’ projected extent to which a product can “be recycled . ry decade from now. “Such an. analysis", says the booklet, ‘‘should be carried out’ - on all consumer products starting with those which make. ‘up-the largest part of solid waste since to pick one or two- items arbitrarily and legislate “them out of existence would be patently . unfair and .. , , ° diseriminatory.’’- The constituents of garbage © The glass container industry in Canada today employs 7,700 .- men and women with an annual . . payroll in excess of $53 million, - There are 11 production plants in five provinces. The most effective long-range - solution to’ the solid waste _ preblem, says the industry, is in “the salvage and recycling of the many components of refuse through design an; application madern technological systems," . The. Federal government should. engage in basic technological research, finance demonstration projects, disseminate information on technological program and market opportunities and provide incentives for com- munity and regional waste Management systems, The - provincial governments should -foster these systems, set standards and play a coor- dinating role, suggests the booklet, The industry also maintains that effective litter contro] can only be attained through public education, adequate anti- littering Jaws and provision of sufficient track receptacles in public places.

Despite, this reduction in. total acreage the trend to . larger farms continues, Of the 366,128 farms covered by the census 17 per cent were 760 acres or more in-size, compared with i3 per cent five years earlier and 11 per cent in 1061.: Farms with less than 760 acres accounted for 82 percent of the 1971 total, down from 87 per cent ‘of the farms in 1966 and 90 per cent in 1961. For the first time Manitoba and Saskatchewan reported decreased acreage in com- parison with the. previous census, although the decreases were relatively slight. -Manitoba’s farm lands were some 75,558 acres below the 1966 figure and Saskatchewan's by about 352,488, Alberta and British Columbia continued tc ‘show increased’ farm acreage, following their historic trends, Newfoundland also reported an increase as the result of unimproved land being bought into agriculture for the development of community pasture land. ; The acreage of improved farmland held steady at 168 million acres virtually un- changed from 1966. Improved_ farmland includes land . cultivated and shwn te crap for harvest in 1971, farmland’ cultivated and seeded for pasture use in 1971, sum- merfallowed land with no crop harvested in 1971 but being cultivated or worked during the - year for weed control and-or for moisture conservation, plus ‘fell to62 million acres last year. other land used for: smaller nimber of farms int: 1971” than five’ years’ éarlier, -the average acreage -of improved land per farm in the six eastern . provinces rose from #9 acres in 1966 to 108 acres in-1971, In the four western provinces’ the improved acreage of the average farm ‘increased: from 406 acres to in 1966 to 463 acres in 1971." The area of eropland, one: of the components of improved farmland, at 69 millon acres, was ohly’ slightly less than in 1966. The. four western provinces experienced an in- erease in cropland which was however, more than offset by a decrease in the other provinees. “Improved pasture land in- creased over past censuses toa ‘peak of 11 million acres in 1965. The 1971 Census reports a decline to 10 million acres with inereases reported only in Newfoundland, Saskatchewan _and Alberta. ' Summerfallow acreages have shown small fluctuations since 1941. En 1971 there was an in- ‘erease to 27 million acres from 26 million in 1966. .
