RECYCLE
Continued from Page 26A
many phone calls out of it." Kaplan said "It was
really a grass-roots typo of deal. The people at
this University cared so much about this."
After that. Kaplan was In garbage heaven She
was offered a )<>h. which she was told was proba
bly temporary "It was kind of like until it diinl
down," she said
She had si* months to prove the program could
work She did By showing that they were til least
breaking oven by recycling, the program stayed.
She and Davis are now full-time, paid employ
ees and Kaplan represents higher education on a
state recycling advisory committee
"The beauty of it i*. we work well together.”
she said "This Is a marriage of the faculty staff,
administration and students, i can’t think of an
other place where there's that connection."
And. what just throe years ago wus a woman
desperately trying to get administrators to hour
her case, is now a loader showing others how to
save their resources.
"People call mo from all over the place —
North Dakota, Georgia " Kaplan said. •' lire US
Bank called me up the other day.”
And she knows her stuff. To prove recycling is
a good Idea, she cites her successes
Sinc ci she started her efforts, she said, the Uni
versity now recycles a!>out 30 tons of garbage u
month, it used to recycle 5 tons.
There arc! now about 400 centralized recycling
slops on campus and about 1,500 recycling bins
The University's printing department carries
unbleached recycled paper, dorm residents recy
cle und students passed a measure to indefinitely
have $ 50 of their student foes go toward the re
cycling program
Arid if saving the planet isn't good enough rea
son to recycle. Kaplan says, saving money is.
In one of her many educational attempts, she
distributed flyers in foot! service areas depicting
an ax chasing a tree. Remarkably, napkin use was
cut in half.
With the money saved on napkins, she said, the
University bought reusable, plastic mugs. Now,
because the mugs reduce paper cup usage, she
said, the University saves about S.10,000 a year.
"People who recycle are environmentalists, but
we don't toll them that," she said, or they might
got scared away. "As a matter of fact, it's hip to
recycle Wo have made it cool to recycle."
But Kaplan doesn't like to take sole credit for
the success. What Is so great, she said. Is that it
shows that individuals rain make a difference.
"Wo have the awareness, consciousness and
desire," she said. The topic of collective action,
which is really at the heart of her crusade, evokes
a passionate response.
"This is kind of the environmental issue whore
everybody meets." she said. "Through recycling
at this Zen level, this spiritual level," people see
that everything is connected.
