Global warming refers to the recent and ongoing rise in global average temperature near Earth's surface. It
is caused mostly by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Global warming is
causing climate patterns to change. However, global warming itself represents only one aspect of climate
change.
Climate change refers to any significant change in the measures of climate lasting for an extended period of
time. In other words, climate change includes major changes in temperature, precipitation, or wind patterns,
among other effects, that occur over several decades or longer.

VCRs. Some materials, such as lead, nickel, cadmium and mercury could pose threats to human health
and the environment if mismanaged at their end-oflife. Keeping used electronics out of the landfills, to
recover materials and the environmental impacts and
energy demands from mining and manufacturing will
lengthen the life of the landfill. All electronic waste
needs to be taken to the white connex next to the recycle center.
Recycling electronics recovers valuable materials and
as a result, we reduce greenhouse emissions, reduce
pollution, save energy and save resources by extracting fewer raw materials from the earth.
If you have any e-waste, call the CIV office, 767-5505
and ask for Daniel Klanott or Pat Warren.

Please make sure your household trash & garbage are in plastic garbage bags before putting it in
the bear proof containers. Please wait to throw food waste out until Monday or Thursday evening.
When food waste sits in the dumpster longer than overnight it draws bugs.
Thank you to those who are waiting to throw food waste away.
If the bear proof container is full please let us know. We do have replacement bags for the bear
containers. Please do not take your trash bags to the Recycle Center.
