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.

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. GREENER BEHREND TASK FORCE 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. Friday, February 11, 2005 "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. 'D BEACON
