What can I recycle? Check out this site: www.recyclethis.org
Aluminum cans, antifreeze/motor oil, car batteries, copper, freon, newspaper,
nickel-cadmium batteries, phone books, radiators, styrofoam board, styrofoam
peanuts, wire, wood, and yard waste just to name a few. We live in the Erie
County Community and there are many drop off locations ready to take your
recyclables.
Tips on reducing (from this site) include:
REDUCE AT SCHOOL
* Buy recycled paper made with post-consumer content. Use both sides, and
then recycle it so it can be used again.
* Start or join an environmental club at school. Get informed, and think of
things you can do to make a difference.
* Ask your school to use items such as reusable cafeteria trays and silver
ware. Milk cartons produce a lot of waste. Two alternatives to suggest to your
school are plastic milk pouches, which result in a much smaller volume and
lower weight of waste than paper cartons; or better yet, reusable eight-ounce
plastic bottles, which produce almost no waste (only the cap is discarded).
REDUCE AT WORK
* Examine your production and procedures to see where waste can be
reduced. Significant savings in supplies and disposal costs can result.
* Establish and support a collection program for recyclables. This decreases
the amount of garbage that has to be picked up by a standard hauler.
* Encourage employees to bring their own washable mugs to work or consid
er providing mugs as a gift.
* Next time your company buys a copier, get one that makes two-sided
copies.
* Use electronic mail to send memos, or route memos to staff members
rather than making a paper copy for each person.
* Use direct deposit for your paycheck.
* Air dryers or reusable cloth towels in the bathroom can reduce paper towel
waste by 100 percent.
* Ask suppliers to deliver materials in returnable/reusable containers.
* Solicit ideas for reduction from fellow employees.

A student reclines and recovers after giving blood Wednesday. The Blood Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania was at
Behrend taking donations.
BLOOD, continued from page 1
"Tell people to come next semester
if they did not come today," said
Naef. "Somebody will be apprecia
tive of your action."
Teal Ingerick, DUS 02, one of the
blood donors, felt that a lot of people
did not like needles or blood takings,
so the Blood Drive was not very pop
ular to Behrend students as a whole.
However, blood donation is crucial to
her.

donate almost every time when I
am able to, after I turned 17," said
Ingerick. "I realized that there is a
shortage in blood supply in many
communities, so I would like to help
out."
Another donor, Robert Hicks,
BIOL 06, whose father "got an extra
nine months" because of blood
donated by others, felt donating
blood was great since it could help
people. He also thought that the
Blood Drive is important to Behrend
students.

"The campus has a lot of healthy
kids, why not donate their blood?"
said Hicks. "You won't know some
day, you might be needing it."
"This would help a good cause,"
said Connie Chung, COMBA 06. "It
helps nearby hospitals and anybody
in need."
The blood was collected by the
Blood Bank of Northwest
Pennsylvania and sent to whatever
hospitals and clinics that have a need
of blood for patients.
