How Do You Re-Use Plastic? Omemee Women Helping Haiti Make Mats!

What’s Your Re-Use Tip?

Tomorrow is Blue Box Day in Omemee, which means containers, plastic, cans, and Styrofoam trays go in the recycling, but do you have any great re-using tips? Reusing items, rather than re-cycling them, can help reduce your carbon footprint even more.

How do you re-use plastic bags?

Women Helping Haiti Omemee Chapter, re-uses clean three litre milk bags to make sleeping mats for the Homeless in Haiti.  Crocheted sleeping mats are washable, repel bugs and provide an alternative to sleeping on the ground Mats are delivered cost-free, because they are also used as packing material around fragile items en route. An adults mat is 36 x 65 inches, and a child’s mat is 30 x 45 inches.It can take up to 300 milk bags to make one sleeping mat for an adult.
Women Helping Haiti meets for coffee and fellowship every other Tuesday at at the Reaboro-Omemee Baptist Church , 21 Sturgeon St. North Omemee. In addition to preparing milk bags for crocheting into sleeping mats, Women Helping Haiti puts together hospital care kits, and birthing kits for the women of Haiti. Their next meting is on Tuesday, May 17th at 9:30 a.m.
For more information call (705) 799-1469

Cross-Border Cribbage Inspires Writer

Universal Obscure Cribbage Language Unites Players

Guest post by Jordan Wiklund

Beaver plane set for take off It is not easy to get to a remote cabin on Whitewater Lake, Ontario, deep in the heart of the Wabakimi Provincial Park wilderness. From Omemee, you might drive northwest about 1400 km on Trans-Canadian Highway 11 to a tiny little town named Armstrong. A more scenic route, about 180 km longer,-:Trans-Canadian Highway 17--veers northwest as well, but you’d pass through Sudbury, Sault St. Marie and Thunder Bay, kissing the northern shores of Lakes Huron and Superior. Either way, you’d need an outfitter from Armstrong to fly you another 60 km north, skimming the treetops, and flirting with the early Canadian sunrise, at least if you want to

Omemee Recycling Day Blue Box Today!

Save Money! Reduce Your Waste!

Recycling Day ? While some people call it Garbage Day, every Tuesday in Omemee is Recycling Day. City of Kawartha Lakes has a two bag garbage collection limit-anything more than that needs to have a pre-paid tag, or you can take it to the landfill. Either option will cost you $3.
Every Tuesday, Omemee residents can reduce their garbage by recycling their waste. On alternate Tuesdays, Omemee has either green fibre (paper) or blue container (plastics, tin) pick up. Please don’t try to recycle anything contaminated with pet waste or motor oil-that’s garbage. Recycled containers must be placed in a recycling bin. They will not be picked up if they are bagged. The only recyclables accepted in bags are shredded paper in a clear plastic bag, or plastic bags bagged in another plastic bag.
Here’s the low down on what you can and can’t put in the recycling bins as well as a few ideas for reusing and rethinking to reduce waste. Please add your ideas in the comments, and we’ll add them to the chart. Download a free Recycling Calendar from the City of Kawartha Lakes site, it  has a tonne of handy info. Click here.
