Whereas the generation and disposal of waste has become a major concern to
Canadians; and

Whereas waste, when discarded as litter, spoils the beauty of the environment: and

Whereas waste, when improperly disposed of into the environment, pollutes parks,
recreational areas, beaches, highways, schoolgrounds and other areas and can
cause physical harm to man and animals: and

Whereas the amount of waste can bé controlled by reduction, re-use, recycling
and composting; and

Whereas littering can be reduced by technology, education, streamlined enforcement,
legislation and community pride; and

Whereas local government is concerned with the amount of waste produced by residents
and businesses and wishes to encourage the reduction, re-use, recycling and
composting of wastes and to promote community pride; and

Whereas residents and businesses can reduce the amount of waste discarded as litter,
itis deemed appropriate to appoint the week of May 2to @, 19S4as PITCH-IN

CANADA Campaign by reducing, re-using, recycling, composting and properly
disposing of all waste and by developing a sense of Community Pride.
