Recycling is the <strong>an</strong>tidote to our<br />

I.JIfatuation with disposables,<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 />
