	endangered wildlife, the importance of specific wildlife habitat, the

	Too bad March's seminars couldn't be televised Several times a WEEK... for Everybody to see.......Especially people who are not conscious of the problems that man is forcing on the environment......maybe then the Masses could be in a better position to Dictate their wishes by means of the free market system.....and force corporations to invest $$$ in R&D, instead of just talking about "improvements" and "how they will go about the Clean-up". steve

	From the Massachusetts Wildlife book.... Building bird houses... Nesting box dimensions for selected cavity nesters in Massachusetts, and the height they should be placed above the ground. Before you build, we suggest you do a little research on the species you want to attract. Some birds, for instance, prefer post-mounted boxes in the open, while others prefer tree- mounted cavities that are well concealed.

	Facts about solid waste! Its a fact that landfill space for solid waste disposal is rapidly dimminishing. Published reports estimate that two-thirds of the landfills in the U.S. have been closed since the late 1970's and one-third of those remaining will be closed in the next 5 years. Here's a look at the make-up of solid waste stream... Waste Stream Composition 35.6% = paper Paper(newspapers,phone books,magazines, 20.1% = yard waste cardboard and more) account for a full 8.9% = food waste 35.6%. Yard waste(leaves,grass and sh- 8.9% = metals rub clippings,etc) contributes 20.1%. 8.4% = glass Glass accounts for 8.4%. All plastics 7.3% = plastices account for 7.3%. All quick service 4.1% = wood restaurant industry packaging accounts 2.8% = rubber/leather for 1/4 of 1% of landfill solid waste. 2 0% = textiles 1.8% = misc.
