News Bureau Weaver Residents Recycle Cans And Paper by Caroline F. Kearns It all began with one person—a soc cer player, Tasha Pinson, who lives on the third floor of Weaver dorm. Tasha is conscious of environmental issues and re cycles as often as she can. She soon con- vmced other students to do the same. Last fall, the other women on the third fioor of Weaver began bringing their empty aluminum cans to Tasha's room. Tasha said they did it because they knew she'd break their arms if she caught them throwing cans in the trash. Tasha used to carry these cans down stairs to the collection bins set up by Tri- Beta. But a few months ago, things changed. Tasha convinced her floor ad visor to get some extra collection bins from maintenance. Now the third floor of Weaver recycles not only aluminum cans but also paper products. Tasha hopes to continue this endeavor next fall and hopes to spread recycling throughout the campus.
