Custodians will transport items from smaller bins found around campus to the larger dumpsters. Sunbright Paper Recycling, Inc. will then pick up the materials to have them recycled. </div> <div> Since Waco is too small to have its own recycling plant, Sunbright will transport the materials to Austin or Dallas by truck. </div> <bR> <div> "Plastics most likely will not be recycled at Baylor. This is because there are not enough plastics being recycled to outweigh the ecological cost of the pollution caused by the truck traveling from Waco to Austin or Dallas," said Chrissie Angeletti, a Waco junior and co-president of ECO. </div> <bR> <div> Paper and aluminum are the only materials that Sunbright is planning to pick up on campus. </div> <bR> <div> Since many of the blue bins located around campus have either relocated or disappeared, new white receptacles will replace and add to the blue ones implemented in 1994 by the program "Baylor Recycles." </div> <bR> <div> With the new program, students will be able to recycle post-it notes, envelopes with glue and other paper products that previously were not recyclable. </div> <bR> <div> "Baylor is working on a recycling program to recycle as many materials as possible. Everyone is very excited about this opportunity," said Kendall Hobby, general manager at Sunbright Paper Recycling, Inc. </div> <bR> <div> On April 17, 18 and 19, ECO will sell plants to raise money for their organization, and Magellan will be there to help raise awareness for the new program. </div> <bR> <div> Another idea being considered is having Baylor buy land where larger recycling bins would be set up to recycle materials like paper, aluminum and plastics. The proposal is that the area would be close to campus and therefore convenient for students to dispose of recyclable materials. </div> <bR> <div> An organization like ECO would man this establishment on a certain day and could take the materials to Sunbright, or Sunbright could pick up the materials. </div> <bR> <div> "I think that it would be very beneficial to students if we could establish an off-campus site for recyclable materials that would allow students to recycle anything and everything possible," Angeletti said. </div> <bR> <div> Angeletti said students should not only recycle at school but also in their homes. </div> <bR> <div> "Recycle at home. You can take materials to Sunbright or another recycling center in Waco," Angeletti said. "The recycling programs at Baylor change all the time, and we think this new plan will definitely be the most effective one that will last for years to come." </div> <bR> <div> In the meantime, information about other recycling companies in Waco can be found in the yellow pages under "recycling centers."</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><U>Baylor Lariat / April 20, 2000</U></b></div> <div> Waco, Baylor students prepare for Earth Day </div> <div> <B>By </b><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B><U>KAREN KALB</U></b></FONT><B> </b></div> <div> <B>Reporter </b></div> <div> As Earth Day enters its fourth decade Saturday, several Waco organizations are planning events to celebrate. </div> <bR> <div> The City of Waco will hold "Celebrate Cameron Park" from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Cameron Park. </div> <bR> <div> "We hope to increase people's awareness of this wonderful treasure [Cameron Park] we have here in Waco," said April Hull, a representative of the City of Waco on the Earth Day organizing committee. </div> <bR> <div> The event will include morning and afternoon hikes and bike rides as well as an Earth Day ceremony. </div> <bR> <div> "Every year in the recent past we have done something for Earth Day, but this year we changed the format a little bit," Hull said. </div> <bR> <div> The event will also promote the kickoff of the Miss Nellie's Pretty Place Revitalization Project. </div> <bR> <div> Hull said the goal of the community project was to weed, plant new flowers, put down mulch and revitalize the appearance of the park before Earth Day 2001. </div> <bR> <div> "We're generally giving it a little bit of a face lift," Hull said. </div> <bR> <div> The first work day was Saturday, and Hull said there will be about four more work days. </div> <bR> <div> "We'd like to have three or four organizations volunteer," Hull said. </div> <bR> <div> On the Baylor campus, the Magellan Society collected signatures of students who wanted to make campus recycling drop-off points more convenient. The petition will be sent to President Robert B. Sloan Jr.. </div> <bR> <div> "We have about over 400 signatures," said Chanhsamone Sibounheuang, a Corpus Christi junior and Magellan Society member. "I think it's important to have a recycling program." </div> <bR> <div> The Magellan Society also passed out postcards that will be sent to President Bill Clinton to promote awareness of global warming. </div> <bR> <div> "It's to let him know we would like stronger regulations for the United States," said Scott Dugan, a Mesquite junior and Magellan Society Member. </div> <bR> <div> The Environmental Concern Organization sold potted flowers and herbs for $2 to raise funds for their organization. Several local businesses have donated either plants or money to the organization. </div> <bR> <div> ECO will hold a brainstorming session and interest meeting for the fall semester at 7 p.m. Tuesday in 124 Sid Richardson Science Building. </div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="17aa2710.jpg" border=0 width="162" height="113" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> back to "<A HREF="id56.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="19992000"><U>1999-2000</U></A> Scrapbook" page</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
