Kids are more careful recyclers than adults, study shows Kids are twice as willing, care twice as much and work twice as long as adults at the job of recycling polystyrene plastic, according to a Canadi- an study. They even try to talk adults into trying harder, says Michael Scott, President of the Canadian Polystyrene Recy- cling Association. Observers with stop watches recently kept tabs on people at waste bins in several Ontario fast-food restaurants. After people finished eating, researchers watched how care- fully they read signs asking them to put different kinds of garbage in different containers to simplify collection for recy- cling. The signs asked them to put polystyrene items, such as plates and cups for hot and cold drinks, in specific bins and to put items made of other materials, such as straws and paper napkins, in other bins. The findings showed that adults spent "in the order of seven seconds deciding what to put where," says Scott. "If it's not simple and convenient, and it takes too long, you run into trouble. They either got it done in that time, or stopped alto- gether and set their trays aside. "On the other hand, our data told us we could ask children to take twice as long and the success rates were still very high. We saw that a lot of kids would stand there, looking it over. And if they thought they got it wrong, they'd put their hands in the bin, pull a piece of garbage out, and put it in the right bin. "We even saw kids telling adults not to do it the wrong way," says Scott. Polystyrene is used for everything from clothes hang- ers to foam plates. The study examined what worked best to ease the job of recycling. Clean-up continued from page 1 Minnova's Employee Rela- tions Superintendent . He says that Minnova is confident that Trimac has examined the incident very closely. "They're very profes- sional people," he says. "We're very happy with them, and have every confi- dence in them." Wilcox also says that tests of water samples taken from the accident area have shown that the lake was not affected as a result of the spill. He says Minnova will continue to take periodic water samples to ensure the water levels remain normal. As a potential benefit, Wilcox says the Ministry of Natural Resources has iden- tified the accident site as an area where fish spawning might be encouraged. "After seeing the area, (the MNR) saw that there was some water coming in from underneath the road- way, he says. "And they informed us that if we used a certain sized gravel in restoring the site, water could come up through the gravel. And that's the type of habitat fish like to spawn in.
