American Women Can Sink Teeth Into This Issue

By ANN HANCOOK County Extension Agent The environmental issue is one that American women can really “sink their teeth into. In their expanded roles in society, women are involved in almost every decision that affects the quality of our environment. As housewives, American women are responsible for determining how more than twothirds of our consumer dollars are spent. This is a major weapon made even more potent by the influence women exert over the decisions about * how the remaining dollars are spent. As mothers, women shape the attitudes and life styles of the coming generation. Future generations will play the key role in choosing whether we establish a healthy balance in our ecology or bury each other in the wrappings of packaged affluence. But women are more than just housewives and mothers. They are a major political force as well. In the coming elections women are expected to account for 52 per cent of the vote. While lawmakers labor to enact programs to control various forms of polution caused by consumer products, women can bring the problem under control by simply refusing to buy questionable products, whether the fault lies in the product of the packaging. The biggest job for women will be in getting the needed information about problems and control and to realize how powerful women can be in building a healthier environment . As you start to think “environmentally” in your day to day life, you will certainly come up with hundreds of other sound ideas. In the long run, that is the most important thing of all — thinking environmentally. The good global housekeeping habits

Share As was requested at the September 27 meeting, all members came prepared with “something to share concerning controlling our environment,” As each member shared her article or idea with the group, all were informed on the many facets, problems, and methods of environment control. Contributions included advice from many magazines and newspaper articles. Topics covered included detergents, noise, leaf burning, fireplace use, and bonfires. All were also alerted to think twice about use of prepackaged foods, throw-away containers and disposal of such items. Architecture has even entered the field of environmental control with its ideas on ecological architecture by the use of earth sculpture or contouring. Along with the controversy on detergents, there is also the controversy about pesticides and insecticides and their use and abuse. Mrs. Schoeff stated that she had always used sal-soda as a non-polluting laundry aid. From her childhood days, she favored the members with bird cards she had received from a baking soda company, makers of sal-soda.
