Did you know that 70% of the garbage in the landfill right now could have been recycled!? 70%! That was just one of the startling facts our Toastmaster for the evening, Norma, revealed.
Irene introduced us to the 2007 Oxford American Dictionary Word Of The Year : locavore (a person that eats local) and gave a great persuasive speech on why we should all try to eat locally. Saying among other things that locally produced produce is bred for taste, rather than transport.
We also got a new member in Mr Dave Belleau - I'm sure he'll be a great addition to the Power Speakers. Until next week...
