Recycling service discontinued
By JOHN MeDERNIOTT

Recycle this . paper'l
From now on that may tie a difficult task due to
the discontinuation of Ecol Action's recycling iser
vice.
Jim Prothero, president of the environmental
group, said economic difficulties and a disap
pearing paper market have made the recycling
process impractical.
Prothero said Eco-Action used to collect the paper
and take it to a scrap dealer for shredding and
baling. It „then was sold to the building industry for
use in plaster boards, he said.

Prothero said that too many people got into the
recycling business and the paper became difficult to
sell, "And with the housing industry hurting," he
added, "the whole econontic picture looks bad." •
Prothero said ECG-Action, a branch of the Penn
State Outing Club until 1971, will collect papers next
term if the outlook is better.
"Don't count us out as dead," Prothero said. "Our
emphasis is just switching."
Prothero said Leo-Action was originally started
for recycling, which constitutes more than 50 per
cent of the workload. He said he would like to de
crease it to about 25 per cent so. the group can con
centrate on other projects.

When it's . going to be a two-car day
with only one car...
- LoOk'us up! It's easy to avoid problems on those days when
one family car isn't enough . . . like when he's
going out of town on business and she's got to go
into on errands. You can rent a luxury Gran
Torino, a sporty Mustang II or economical MaveriCk
or Pinto.

Eco-Action, also will sponsor a state-wide en
vironmental conference of high schools and college,
Prothero said. It will be held near the end of April
and will include guest lecturers from the en
vironmental field, he said.
Prothero said the group also is working to provide
public education on environmental issues.
He said one method is to present facts, or "earth
savers," on ways of preserving the environment as
newspaper fillers.
Prothero said he would like to present these facts
in a column like the "Consumer Corner" ad
vertisement put out by the Organization of Town In
dependent Students.
