Brunswick County EVERYONE CAN HELP OUT Program Hopes Tourists Will Recycle, Too HY I FRRY I'OI'K Tourists may play an important role m making Brunswick County's tecycling program succcsslul. That's why the need to protect the natural beauty of the county's beaches should become more visi ble. saul Rita Hatcher, public health educator with the Brunswick County Health Department. lb achieve thai goal, the environ mental health stall is busy design ing an emblem, similar to a road sign, that will encourage people to recycle glass, paper, aluminum and plastic. The signs will be placed in iugh traffic areas, such as local restaurants, stores, motels and re creational spots. said Ms. Hatcher. The plan was unveiled this week during VC. Environmental Health Week. Sept. 15-21, as proclaimed In Gov. Jim Martin. Health depart - mens statewide will focus attention tlii> week on environmental chal lenges and possible solutions to those problems. "Since we are a tourist mecca." said Ms. Hatcher, "not only should the natives he interested in keeping our natural resources in good condi tion, but the tourists should, too." The department hopes the design will be catchy, to encourage persons to take pride in Brunswick County's beaches by picking up litter and making sure it is disposed of prop erly. Perhaps the design could be ap proved by the N.C. Department of Transportation and placed on high way signs, she said. "We'd like to come up with something that good ? that they'd want to adopt it statewide." she said. In the future, she believes recycl ing education may be an environ mental health specialist's most im portant job. They were previously called sanitarians until their roles as educators broadened. "Now. the environment is such a critical area to be addressed." said Ms. Hatcher. "These people are be coming more specialized." It is their job to inspect restau rants. motels, septic systems, super markets and public water supplies. Specialists also inspect child day care centers, rest homes and schools tor proper sanitation practices.

"I ivhevc they will bccome as important as our medical doctors." said Ms. 1 laic her. "We arc at that fragile dividing line, where we can choose to maintain our natural re sources and make conditions better, or lose them altogether." Brunswick County's beaches are free ol the debris and hazardous wastes that have frequently washed ashore in northern suites, but resi dents will have to work to protect the local shoreline, she said. "Once it happens, thai stigma stays for a long lime," Ms. Hatcher said. "We don't want to be known for having a disaster on our beach es. It would label us from now until eternity. If we maintain and do what we're all suppose to be doing, then we can ensure ourselves against that." Recycling stations arc open at Boiling Spring I akes, Calabash. Holden Beach, Long Beach, Shallotte, Southport, Sunset Beach and Leland. "We want citizens to make it a habit to recycic," said Ms. Hatcher. Fresh Daily 5 Lb.
