The Flin Flon Environment Council is asking you to remember Earth Day today. Recycling Centre Administrator Deb Odegaard explains the day has evolved over the years.  She says Earth Day has been going since 1970 and the focus has changed from pollution and oil spills to now we’re more concerned about climate change and green house gases and really focusing on a circular economy where we recover and reuse as much as possible rather than the straight line that has been the way we’ve done things where you make something, use it up and throw it away.  She adds it’s very important that we do take care of our earth because it has to take care of us.

If you have any questions on Earth Day or recycling you can contact Deb at the Recycling Centre at 204-687-6169.
