3/25, full issue: Environmental leadership, gun reform, spring flowers, more - Charleston Currents

Every plastic bottle dropped in a blue bin at the Memphis airport is thrown away. And in Charleston County, a month of recycling now sits under a tarp at the Bees Ferry Landfill. “There’s no place to send it,” Charleston County Councilman Vic Rawl told a local TV station. Last month, the county chose not to extend its contract with Horry County and truck recyclables north. An existing facility located on the peninsula is outdated and ill-equipped to manage our pace and volume. Plans to build a more modern facility are on-hold. So, a covered pile of about 3,000 tons of recycled paper, glass, aluminum and plastic sits and awaits its fate. If pieces of it get wet, they’ll be buried at the landfill just like trash. We need leadership. Charleston County should be transparent about the future of its recycling program and plans to build a new facility, and it should move quickly to address the mountain of recyclables that are piling up at Bees Ferry. And we can all recommit to reducing the amount of waste we produce individually. Established recycling programs have done much to keep plastic bottles, aluminum, and glass out of the environment, but they haven’t addressed single-use plastics — plastics that are typically used once and tossed like bags, straws, and Styrofoam. Single-use plastics are not easily recycled and are often scattered throughout the environment, impacting waterways and wildlife. But local communities along our coast have stepped up and done that themselves by putting in place bans on single-use plastics. That’s one of the strongest indicators I’ve observed so far about how important our work is in South Carolina. In fact, last night, Charleston County finalized its own single-use plastics ban for unincorporated parts of our community. Senate to take up big bill with local impacts Still, efforts to deny local progress and community-driven solutions are facing strong opposition. On Wednesday, several senators again considered a bill that would unravel existing bans and prevent future local action on plastic pollution. The executive director of a national special interests group representing big plastic manufacturers traveled from Washington to attend the hearing and snubbed local bans as ineffective and “emotions based.” Mayors and council members from Folly Beach, Isle of Palms,...

Germantown irises blooming for the last time in current location

The members, who took care of plants at the Memphis Botanic Garden, have maintained the small suburban garden. Winters said that many years ago her husband, Chuck, Steve Stern and Van Smith were the "triumvirate" caretakers of the garden. Chuck Winters and Stern have died. Those three did most of the heavy work. Each year, members gather a third of the plants from the small garden and hold an annual iris sale. On August 25, every flower will be available to buy, but according to Winters, future irises sold will come from members' yards. Winters said irises not sold in August could become part of Oaklawn Garden on Poplar Pike, but responsibility for maintaining them would fall to other city organizations. Pam Beasley, Germantown Parks and Recreation director, has identified two spaces to repurpose and plant the bulbs so the flowers can flourish inside Oaklawn. However, there is no final decision. "We want the public to be able to have free access to the beautiful flowers," Germantown Alderwoman Mary Anne Gibson said. "But it takes work. There must be a willingness to make sure we are able to enjoy them for many years." Winters said everyone can enjoy the current garden because of its accessibility. "The way the garden was laid out, the flower beds were right there along the road," Winters said adding visitors can view from their cars. "You didn't have to come into the garden." "They have been such a part of out city for so many years," Gibson added. "I would love for them to return to one of our parks. Our parks are the lifeblood of our city." Winters said the Iris Garden has been a special part of the Germantown community. "That deserves to be the crown in the Germantown Parks," the president said. "It grieves me, but we know it's time." ...
