us of the efforts necessary to pro-

focused on environmental as well as
economic measures. The concerns
for the ozone layer and the ecologi-
cal survival of the world surrounded
us in every facet of our lives, even
at ECCC where state law mandated
that each state agency establish
recycling programs and source
reduction programs.
Recycling seemed so easy, but it
was just plain hard for us to get in
the routine. "Save those aluminum
cans; don't put that white paper in
the trash, put it in the recycle box."
We wanted to do our share; but at
times, it was just too hard to
remember to collect recycling items.
The bins for can collections remind-
ed us to do our part; that was easy.
However, recycling white paper pre-
sented a bigger problem for us. "In
which container do we put the white
paper?" It was difficult to remember

If someone said that the world was on the brink of disaster,
what would you think? Would you believe it? Well, it's close to
the truth. You may say that the world's ecological problem
does not effect college students. It may not affect you personal-
ly, but in the long run, it will. Not true, you say. Well, consider
this. What about the children?
