Go Green Committee—Recycling and Environmental
Recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 trees, 2
barrels of oil (enough to run the average car
for 1,260 miles), 4,100 kilowatts of energy
(enough power for the average home for 6
months), 3.2 cubic yards of landfill space, and
60 pounds of air pollution.
Americans throw away enough aluminum to
rebuild our entire commercial fleet of airplanes every 3 months.
Davis Lake Communiqué
DAVIS LAKE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
About 80% of what Americans throw away is
recyclable, yet our recycling rate is just 28%.
Recycling creates 6 times as many jobs as
land filling.
Recycling glass instead of making it from
silica sand reduces mining waste by 70%,
water use by 50%, and air pollution by 20%.
Recycling just one aluminum can saves
enough energy to operate a TV for 3 hours.
If we recycled all of the newspapers printed
in the U.S. on a typical Sunday, we would
save 550,000 trees--or about 26 million trees
per year.
The energy saved each year by steel recycling
is equal to the electrical power used by 18
million homes each year - or enough energy
to last Los Angeles residents for eight years.
If every household in the U.S. replaced just
one roll of 1,000 sheet virgin fiber bathroom
tissues with 100% recycled ones, we could
save: 373,000 trees, 1.48 million cubic feet of
landfill space, and 155 million gallons of
water.
Inside this issue:
The U.S. is 5% of the world's population
but uses 25% of its natural resources.
Which recyclable items does the City of
Charlotte collect?
No. 1 and No. 2 recyclable plastics (milk
jugs, liquid detergent bottles, plastic soft
drink bottles, etc.)
Glass (rinse and remove lids)
Aluminum
Newspapers and inserts (stack on top of,
beside or underneath recycling bin)
Magazines
Junk mail (letters, envelopes, postcards,
etc.)
Mixed paper
Spiral paper cans (remove plastic or metal
lids and rinse or wipe out remaining food)
Telephone books
Catalogues
Soft-drink and beer cans
Soft-drink and liquor bottles
Cardboard (please cut, do not fold, into 3
feet x 3 feet pieces and stack neatly at
curbside)
If you need the red recycling bins, they are
available at the clubhouse on a first come, first
serve basis.

Bus Etiquette
Introduction to Yoga
Do you have to stop for a school bus when
there is a median separation?
Along the Davis Lake Parkway entrance,
some of us stop and some of us don‟t. The
NC Drivers Handbook does not speak to
this condition directly, but the DMV office
on North Tryon Street was kind enough to
provide guidance. You are required to stop
for a school bus along the Davis Lake
Parkway even at the median. The Median
rule that permits drivers to not stop only
applies where there are two or more lanes
on either side of the median.
Did you know that you are required by law
to honk your horn at a pedestrian when
they may be affected by a turn, stop or
start? It may seem impolite, but it‟s the
law in North Carolina. Pedestrians (and
joggers) have the same rights as a vehicle
along the road and have to follow the same
rules. But if they cross in front of you
when you have the right of way, by law
you must use the horn. If they don‟t stop,
the Driver‟s Handbook states that you, the
driver, should.
Davis Lake teenagers can earn
hours for
school community service by volunteering
for the community!
Contact Ryan Houck for more information.
Many Thanks to:
Ben Comer
Keith Kunstmann
For their help removing the community
holiday decorations.
FEBRUARY 2008
Saturdays March 1-April 19, 10am at the DL clubhouse
$30 per person (for the 8 week class)
Introduction to Yoga will focus on learning foundational poses and sequences at a
slower pace to gain knowledge and experience. As the class progresses and tempo increases, the poses will create balance, strength, flexibility and endurance to complement
activities of your daily life. The class will follow the YogaFit system which is part of
the Hatha tradition taught in a vinyasa style.

CAM’s Corner
Dear Residents,
Home Safety Tips
2008 is here! I would like to thank everyone for all the hard work in keeping the
DLCA neighborhood looking great. The overall response has been exceptional.
At the writing of this note, the election is in process. I hope that all of you took the
opportunity to attend the “Meet the Candidates” nights and learn more about those
running for the Board and vote. Your Vote counts!
CAM has been notified of some unlawful activity in the DLCA community. We
have provided some Home Safety Tips in this issue for your use. Please remain
vigilant and report crime and/or strangers in the neighborhood.
Water conservation is still critical. Please conserve water where possible for example: adjust water level when washing clothes, place fillers in the toilets tanks,
shut off water when brushing teeth and shaving. It is important that everyone does
their part.
CAM is requesting that owners continue to notify CAM of activity that may be in
violation of the DLCA covenants. CAM commends the ARC committee for their
diligence in approving requests and monitoring the approved ARC application. As
you may know, CAM in conjunction with the Board, has been conducting hearings to insure the restrictive covenants are being followed as agreed by each
homeowner when they purchased their home.
There are eleven months left in the year. How are you progressing on your goals?
CAM is excited because our goal to “Get it straight in „08 so all will be fine in
„09” is on target.
Thank you for helping make DLCA a wonderful place to live!
Pat Patterson
