Looking through some of the Keep Wimberley Beautiful columns from 1995 on, so much of it is still relevant today.
The columns used to consist of three sections: “What’s Going On?” “How Does Your Garden Grow?” and “Environmental Earthkeeping.” We have chosen to recycle (which is one of KWB’s missions) one of these sections for our column this week. Here is the “What’s Going On?” section of the KWB column, written by Martha Knies and Dawn Teague from the July 5, 1997 edition of The Wimberley View.
“Eleven members of KWB have just returned from the state convention of Keep Texas Beautiful in San Antonio. One of the workshops attended by Gerin Hood stressed the importance of source reduction … that is, limiting the packaging and excess from products before they ever get to our homes. This particular type of conservation, by the way, can save more resources and energy than any kind of recycling or reuse program.
