Second. Coffee at 9:15, meeting at 9*30. Babysitting at Maiy Ann Watt's house, 1007 W. First, All members welcome. / Sunday, Jan. 20 — Sierra Club ski tour in Whitewater State Park. I$rle Templer, Owatonna. Contaot Wednesday, Jan, 23 — Energy Group meeting at* 10 a.m. at Linda Wagenbach !s, 112 Maple. State Legislature Convenes The state legislature will convene on Jan. 15. Do you have some time to spend at the capitol listening to what is happening and attending committee meetings? Several issues of environmental interest will be before the senate and house in this session including a bill requiring deposits on non-retumables, land use legislation, and possibly.a nuclear moratorium bill (if there is a great deal of public support). If you don't have time to go to the legislature, perhaps you can take a few minutes to write a letter to your senator or representative indicating your support for legislation requiring a deposit on all throwaway beer and soft drink cans and bottles sold in Minnesota. The bill made progress in the last session and will come up for a vote in the Senate. However, the House bill was returned to the House committee on Environmental Preservation and must be heard and voted on again before reaching the house floor. A similar bill has been in effect in Oregon for.one year and, according to preliminary information from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the number of beverage containers in litter has been reduced by 75$ while general litter has been reduced by 50$. More importantly, it is estimated that 1.3 trillion BTU's have been saved as a result of the switch from throwaways to returnables. "Despite some important court decisions favoring the environmental cause, such victories generally provide only temporary relief. Courts can only interpret the law and see that it is complied with. In most environmental matters, what is really needed is aew and better laws, and it is the job of the legislature to develop them." —Sierra Club Bulletin CHANNEL 2: Thurs., Jan. 10, 7:00 p.m. Ttaurs., Jan. 17, 7*00 p.m. Thurs., Jan. 2£t, 7:00 p.m. Mon., Jan. 28, 8:00 p.m. Thurs., Jan. 315 9*00 p.m. The Advocates, "Gas Rationing: Yes or No?11 The Advocates, "Nuclear Power Plants: Yes or No?"
