Don’t just stand there, PICK IT UP!

When you go into the cafeterias this week
you should be able to spot three large
bins emblazoned with recycling posters

which urge you to deposit your pop cans
rather than throwing them out (or littering
the campus with them). This is the start
of a long, long, LONG overdue recycling
campaign on campus, coordinated by the
Outdoor Recreation Environmental Committee
and campaign organizer Christine Imler
(first year Outdoor Recreation student).
The Outdoor Rec students will be collecting
the pop cans for refund and putting the
money towards transportation costs for
volunteer trail maintenance and trail
blazing projects.

Pop and juice cans are made of aluminum
(aluminium for purists), a metal which
requires tremendous amounts of energy to

produce. Recycling aluminum saves 92% of
that energy, making it one of the prime
targets for recycling campaigns. However,
Capilano College also goes through great
amounts of other recyclable materials—
paper being one glaring example—and there
is considerable potential for more thorough
recycling here. If you have any bright
ideas on this subject, or are willing to
help in organizing recycling systems this
fall, contact Christine Imler in Outdoor
Rec, or Information Services.

And, if you see pop and juice cans lying
around the campus, PICK THEM UP and put
them in the recycling bins. Natural
resources are finite and it is senseless
to squander them, so don't just pay lip
service to recycling—do something to
help.

Congratulations to first year Music Therapy student Susan Summers, who won the $300

Music Therapy Award donated by the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire (IODE),

Lions Gate Chapter. Mrs. Palmer of the IODE (presenting cheque) travelled down from

Sechelt to make the presentation. Summers hada GPA of 4.0 last semester, in spite of
working 21 hours per week in addition to her full time class load.
