The plastic lumber plant at
the Environmental Learning
Center (ELC) scheduled for
completion in April, 1991 is al­
ready receiving orders according
to ELC Director Jerry Herrmann.
Plastic lumber is a compound
made from compressed, recycled
plastic into synthetic lumber.
Plastic lumber can be used in the
place of actual wood and does not
rot like conventional lumber. Hie
cost of manufacture is also close
to that of wood products.
Herrmann has already re­
ceived requests for 20 plastic
lumber picnic tables from Van-
denburg Air Force Base in Cali­
fornia. “We’re not talking about
a plant; we’re talking about a whole
industry,” said Herrmann.
There have also been orders
from Tri-Met for bus stop shel­
ters and information structures.
“The most interesting of all,”
according to Herrmann, “is an or­
der for 3000 board feet to be used
in a bridge over the Rio Grande.”
Other agencies which have
expressed a desire for plastic
lumber have been the State High­
way Department wanting sign posts
and the State Parks Department
to contain garbage material.

plan is to make it all the way to the
nationals.
“It just became fun for the af­

Thatcher, one of the debate team
members. “I think that we’ve won
most of them for debate.”
“The best round that I’ve ever
had in my life was against this
team,” said Lewil Shedd, a mem­
ber of the opposing team from
University of Oregon.

“There’s a lot of team sup­
port. We all work together,” said
Dave Nash. “Our goal is to make
it to nationals which will be held
in Los Angeles this year. We get
to go, to Disney Land.”
“This is only my second de­
bate. It was kind of scary but Jared
helped me a lot. It’s like a family;
we are close knit,” said Cheron
McGuffey, a new member.
