PAGE THREE
'•By the year two thousand,
at our present rate, the world’s
oopulatlon may have doubled and
^ planet may not be fit for
Cman tnhabitance.” You have
probably heard this a number
of times but have you ever
mought what It could mean to
,ou personally? Are you aware
jl,gt It Is Earth Week? This
Earth Week, can also
aean' a lot to you as an In
dividual 11 you participate. We
hold the ecological key to our
own future. The green light Is
00 and the time is now to
start himlng that key. Z.P.G.
(Zero population Growth), along
with various other national and
local organizations prompt you
to contribute to Earth Week and
to your own future.
Z.P.G., the newly establish
ed, rapidly advancing organiza
tion for environmental control
Is actively responding to Earth
Week and urges you to join
us. As afreshly chartered chap
ter of a national committee,
Z.P.G. is concerned with ac
tion on the question of environ
ment and is already well under
way. The active membership
cumbers close to twenty-five
and Is constantly increasing.
At the present time Z.P.G.
is trying to make aware and
actively Involve both the col
lege community and the “me
tropolitan” Laurinburg area.
Our projects Include; making
non-pollutant detergent avail
able on campus, informing our
community on the ecological
problem telling individuals how
they may actively help and pro
mpting the local merchants to
sell non-pollutant products.
These, of course, are just a
few of the widely diversified
activities performed by Z.P.G.
Our chapter on campus is far
from being closed in member
ship and new members and fresh
ideas are always welcomed.
In order for this chapter to
be functional we need the back
ing of YOU, our fellow students.
St. Andrews is, by no stretch
of the imagination, the world,
but It is a great place to start
practicing an environmental at
titude. For example, while you
are here, try not to have more
than two children and try to
keep your showers down to less
than twenty-seven seconds. As
“eco-freaks” we do seriously
suggest that you be conscious
of your environment and help
Rules To Live By

Interdependence of Man and Na

sential to your existence.
•EUmlnate the “1 WANT”
philosophy of life.
*"Eat to live, don’t live to
eat.”
♦Fight needless consumption;
purchase only Items that you
really need.
Buy durable items, avoiding
those designed for obsole
scence.

what you can, grow what you
can.”

will be available there a check
list of ways In which each of
us may help. Any other in
formation on Z.P.G. may be

ber will be on hand to answer

the world you save may be your
own.
In conclusion, the key to
ecological salvation Is personal
awareness. Granted, a great
many people are “aware” that
a number of “eco-freaks” are
prophesizlng that a catastrophy
tantamount to the destruction of
mankind is before us. What they
do not realize is that we do face
an ecological disaster which
could reduce humanity to a
barbaric state. This lack of
understanding stems from the
fact that very few people have
been educated about the problem
and its consequences.
These articles therefore have
been directed, as has this year’s
Earth Week, toward awareness.
For once a person t>ecomes
truely aware, not only does he
understand the problem, but
he is prompted to act upon the
solutions which are basically
very simple.
Most Important, what almost
everyone doesn’t realize Is that
If we don’t act soon, nature
will solve the problem her own
way. For example, one of na
ture’s solutions to the problem
of overpopulation Is the rapidly
growing epidemic of gonorrhea,
another area of Ignorance.
The greatest danger is not
taking ecology seriously. Un
less you think and act ecolo
gically every day. It will have
as much effect as the plU would
for a girl who decides to take
it only on weekends.
Remember, you are a mem
ber of the aware generation.
Any change rests on your shoul
ders, so become aware, ecolo
gically.
