We would like to recognize Kayla Horton, of Carleton Place, who was recognized as Rona’s new EcoLeader this past fall. She and her colleagues have a goal of eliminating waste in their workplace this year.
Horton will take initiatives to help the store and the community reduce pollution. There are six members in the committee along side Horton. Horton said that by 2011, (Rona has) a goal of zero waste altogether. Since the goal was set, Horton said, Rona has began with a number of changes, including recycling plastic, having a cardboard bailer, installing motion-censored lights, offering scrap wood to the community for firewood at no cost, recycling paint and more.
The store also accepts used blades, router bits, drill bits, hole saws and all alkaline batteries customers wish to dispose of at no charge. Horton is in charge of coming up with new ideas and putting them in practice with the help of the 6 member committee. During Horton’s free time, she works with children with special needs.
