In an attempt to save the Earth, the Loyola Green Club and Environmental Action plans to renew the recycling program in the dorms. The club wants to expand its program to recycle plastics as well as aluminum. However, some students are more interested in recycling paper. Rosina Roibal, music education junior and president of the Loyola Green Club and Environmental Action, said she would also like to see more options for recycling. Roibal is working with Jim Eiseman, vice president for Student Affairs, to create a better recycling system.
Some students agree.
Most of the stuff in the convenience store is plastic. Kukulski said she doesn't think that Loyola promotes much recycling, but said she has seen major improvements since her freshman year. She also said convenience is the crucial element for a successful recycling program. Students are more likely to recycle if the bins are in a convenient location. Materials that are not recycled waste energy and resources.
