Greetings to those who live or work off campus:<br>
As part of the Cambridge Climate Protection Plan, the city has
implemented a goal of recycling 40% of all solid waste by 2005. You can
help! Here's a message from Randi Mail, Director of Recycling for
Cambridge:<br><br>
<br>
Can you imagine 1700 full recycling trucks parked for over almost 9 miles
bumper to bumper along the Red Line subway tracks from the Alewife T Stop
all the way to the JFK/UMASS T Stop in Boston? Last year alone, Cambridge
residents filled that many trucks to the brim with nearly 18,000,000
pounds of paper and containers diverted from landfills and incinerators
to be made into new recycled products!<br>
<br>
College students living off-campus in Cambridge make up nearly 10% of the
population, generating well over 2500 tons of waste each year.
That's almost half a ton of waste per student! Are you doing your
part? <br>
<br>
Help us meet our goal to recycle 40% of our waste by 2005. Recycle
all of your paper, cardboard and cans and bottles every week. Place
rinsed containers loose in your blue bin, put papers in a paper bag or
bundle with string and flatten your cardboard to 3'x3'. It's that
simple. Free the trash! <br>
<br>
Visit the Cambridge Recycling website at
<a href="http://www.cambridgema.gov/theworks/departments/recycle/" eudora="autourl">http://www.cambridgema.gov/theworks/departments/recycle/</a>,
and click on residents. Your efforts will go a long way to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions, save resources, and create jobs. Thank
you!<br>
<br>
If you are interested in volunteering to spread the word out about
recycling in Cambridge, please contact us. <br>
