Because of the administration's efforts, I believed that Guilford College had an honest commitment to preserv ing the natural environment. Since that time I have become disheartened by the lack of re sponse to the numerous requests for a recycling system for our cam pus. It is difficult for many mem bers of the student body to believe that it has taken so long for the ad ministration to act. It seems that although students have worked hard to convince the Guilford Col lege community that they believe that recycling is necessary, all of their efforts have been in vain. In the Spring of 1993, members of Forevergreen, Guilford's envi ronmental organization, spent ev ery Sunday afternoon sorting the glass, aluminum, plasties and newspapers dropped off by other f > ■ ... students. Months passed and al though we were pleased that more people were recycling, we soon realized that we could not promote additional recycling because it was beyond our capacity. Furthermore, we were con cerned that the student body was growing dependent on Forevergreen's services. We de cided that we needed to spend more time educating the students, staff and administration about the importance of recycling. We be lieved that the grass roots educa tion and encouragement would be the only way to ensure that recy cling would continue here in the future. When we approached the mem bers of the administration, we were told that it was preferred that For evergreen stop recycling for the rest of the campus. The adminis tration was concerned that one of us might get hurt and the college would be liable. Furthermore, we were told that Bill Scott, Head of Grounds and Maintenance, was heavily involved in recycling ef- COMMUNITV 224 N. 6m St. 810-R6SOURC6S, f^oi 560 ' 0 ' NC INC. 273-3429 Zf)t t&mltorbtati forts on North Carolina and that he was working on establishing a sys tem at Guilford. Independently, Forevergreen began researching different recy cling possibilities and presented them to Bill Scott and other admin istrators. When we told Gary Kenton, a well-known environ mentalist in the Greensboro area, about our difficulties, he wrote a letter to President Bill Rogers ask ing him to support our efforts. Since that time, we have contin ued on our crusade. We have con tinued educating and encouraging the student body to recycle on their own until we get our own system. We also have organized Sunday afternoon carpooling for students wanting to take their recyclable to local centers. Although last year there was an attempt by the administration to have aluminum recycling for the campus, it was a failed effort, be cause the admin istration placed the responsibility of removing the cans on the shoulders of a student As a volunteer, donation takes approximately 75 minutes.
