Recycling is the <strong>an</strong>tidote to our<br />
I.JIfatuation with disposables,<br />
\.!CC0roUlg to environment<strong>al</strong> groups<br />
figures like consumer<br />

are fmite, it's<br />
n ••,'mnat sensible way to de<strong>al</strong> with<br />
coloss<strong>al</strong> waste hum<strong>an</strong>s prothe<br />
argument goes.<br />
I!eclrclir ' Ig is the second stage of <strong>an</strong><br />
'.mlnrollment<strong>al</strong>ist lifestyle that<br />
fIrSt <strong>an</strong>d foremost to reduce<br />
at the source. ("The best<br />
bag is <strong>an</strong> empty one," as<br />
by The Nation<strong>al</strong> Audubon<br />
The battle at this point is<br />
. _.~~_ the usage of recyclable vs.<br />
fdilDOBilble materi<strong>al</strong> - <strong>an</strong>d various<br />
laI'IIiClee have set go<strong>al</strong>s to increase<br />
pen::entage of the recycled<br />
ImatenaJ they buy.<br />
go<strong>al</strong> in buying recycled<br />
~n ..., for example, is 90 percent<br />
year 2000, as m<strong>an</strong>dated by<br />
law <strong>an</strong>d ove\'l!een by Waste<br />
Coordinator Carol<br />
face of c<strong>al</strong>culations predicth<strong>al</strong>f<br />
of U.S. l<strong>an</strong>dfills will<br />
by the end of this year,<br />
action <strong>an</strong>d stricter go<strong>al</strong>s are<br />
environment<strong>al</strong>ists say.<br />
Contr81'V to what it may seem,<br />
not a new solution. In<br />
long before the era of disposthe<br />
idea of recycling was<br />
Now it's making a comeback<br />
as its advocates - <strong>al</strong>armed<br />
by the present situation of dwindling<br />
l<strong>an</strong>dfill space - press the<br />
issue.<br />
History traces recycling as far<br />
back as A.D. 105, when the inhabit<strong>an</strong>ts<br />
of China were recycling<br />
their paper. And during World War<br />
II, Americ<strong>an</strong>s recycled one-third of<br />
their paper because of shortage.<br />
Another argument in favor of<br />
recycling is that it causes 74<br />
percent less air pollution <strong>an</strong>d 35<br />
percent less water pollution th<strong>an</strong><br />
production methods that start from<br />
scratch. Also, m<strong>an</strong>ufacturing products<br />
from recycled <strong>al</strong>uminum uses<br />
up 95 percent less energy th<strong>an</strong><br />
those starting from actu<strong>al</strong> ore.<br />
As c<strong>an</strong> be expected, the recycling<br />
issue has spawned a number of<br />
debates, one of them being the<br />
paper-plastic debate regarding<br />
shopping <strong>an</strong>d garbage bags.<br />
Not <strong>al</strong>l of these bags fmd their way<br />
into recycling centers; some do<br />
wind up in l<strong>an</strong>dfills eventu<strong>al</strong>ly.<br />
Experts say degradation is minim<strong>al</strong><br />
in a l<strong>an</strong>dfill, pointing out that<br />
the main issue is the amount of<br />
space garbage takes up. Plastic<br />
bags, being less bulky th<strong>an</strong> paper,<br />
take up less space in a l<strong>an</strong>dfill <strong>an</strong>d<br />
are supported on that basis by<br />
some - especi<strong>al</strong>ly comp<strong>an</strong>ies who<br />
m<strong>an</strong>ufacture them. Another facet<br />
of this argument is biodegradable<br />
plastic bags, which combine the<br />
compactness of plastic with the<br />
degradableness of paper.<br />

UI group sponsors Earth Day concert<br />
By Gabrielle Mullarkey<br />
The Daily Iow<strong>an</strong><br />
Apparently, when a young pilot by<br />
the name of George Bush bailed<br />
out of his burning airpl<strong>an</strong>e in<br />
World War n, he owed his life to a<br />
parachute made of c<strong>an</strong>nabis hemp<br />
webbing.<br />
This fascinating fact about Bush<br />
was proclaimed in a h<strong>an</strong>dout from<br />
the UI C<strong>an</strong>nabis' Action Network<br />
whose members were mellowing<br />
out amidst the mud, bongo drums<br />
<strong>an</strong>d bare feet at the Earth Day<br />
Concert held Sunday afternoon at<br />
City Park.<br />
Earth Day's music r<strong>an</strong>ged from the<br />
"worldbeat" vibes of the Earth<br />
Mother's Majimba B<strong>an</strong>d, tapping<br />
into Brazili<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>d Mric<strong>an</strong><br />
rhythms, to Captain Barney's funk<br />
d<strong>an</strong>ce repertoire. The loc<strong>al</strong> group,<br />
Cats From Ubhidya, were flicking<br />
back their locks <strong>an</strong>d plucking their<br />
fiddles In a melodious potpourri of<br />

over a pipe of peace.<br />
"Person<strong>al</strong>ly," said Amy De Lucca,<br />
the UI Environment<strong>al</strong> Co<strong>al</strong>ition's<br />

<strong>an</strong>d racism as <strong>al</strong>l part of the<br />
environment<strong>al</strong> web. We have to get<br />
across to everyone that they c<strong>an</strong><br />
make a difference. Our generation<br />
senses that these are desperate<br />
times."<br />
Most of "our generstion" found the<br />
nearest sunny, mud-free spot to<br />
enjoy a beer, a game offrisbee <strong>an</strong>d<br />
a frolic with the dog Sunday afternoon.<br />
Back on stage, T-shirts were<br />
