2The Daily Tar HeelMonday, November 30, 1992 Congresswomen prepare families for term The Associated Press WASHINGTON Karan English will be fresh from her honeymoon when she leaves husband and family to take up her new job as Democratic congress woman from Arizona. English, like many of her female colleagues going to Congress for the first time, will be a long-distance com muter. She'll try to fly home on week ends to be with her husband and their five children from previous marriages. They decided that the best thing was tohaveone stable parent,"said English's aide Bron wyn Reynolds of her boss and Recycling vironmental Action Coalition and of the Greek Recycling and Environmen tal Awareness Committee. In October, the OCRP began offer ing multifamiiy-housing recycling ser vices to fraternity and sorority houses, which originally participated in curbside recycling. GREAC lobbied the Chapel Hill Town Council last spring to bring about the change. "People will participate more if it's easy to do," Busby said. "The curbside program just wasn't convenient (for fraternities and sororities). Once your bins got full in your house, it just piled up." The OCRP provides 65-gallon recy cling carts formultifamilyhouses. Regu lar curbside recycling bins hold 14 gal lons. Most multifamily houses have about five carts, and smaller houses share recycling carts. 'I'M' fit Rob Elliot, who owns a Whitewater raft adventure company in Flagstaff. Most of the 24 new female House members won' t be moving to Washing ton with spouses. Nine aren't married, and the husbands of others are staying behind to tend to families or their own careers. The percentages are likely to be the same for the four new female members of the Senate. "Right from the start, it was never a consideration," said Deborah Pryce, R Ohio, whose husband will remain be hind to run his real estate firm. GREAC Co-chairwoman Laura Gaines said the new recycling system for fraternities and sororities also had made it more convenient and inviting to recycle cardboard. "(Before) we would have to take cardboard to the drop-off sites," she said. More effective recycling programs with businesses also are emphasized because of the large amount of recy clable waste generated by businesses, said Paul Dunn, OCRP commercial re cycling specialist. The OCRP currently operates a com mercial cardboard collection program for about 1 00 businesses in Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough. In another commercial program, 50restaurants and bars in Chapel Hill and Carrboro re cycle glass bottles and aluminum, steel and tin cans.

There are no precise figures on how many members of Congress, both men and women, leave their families back home when they come to Washington. Commuting is the common lot for most women in the House, said Andrea Camp, press spokeswoman for U.S. Rep. Pat Schroeder, D-Colo. all the major glass producers that are willing to recycle," Dunn said. The same is true for cardboard producers, he said. The real problem is making sure busi nesses recycle properly, Dunn said. Some businesses have been dropped from the recycling programs because they failed to sort their recyclable mate rials properly, he said. "They basically treated recycling as trash." To encourage more businesses to re cycle and to recycle properly, OCRP has plans in the near future to give awards and public recognition for busi nesses with outstanding recycling pro grams. The recognition might encourage some customers to patronize those busi nesses, Dunn said. Werner agreed. "Businesses will get better PR by being good corporate citi zens than by being wasteful citizens." Even with all the recycling, one big problem is marketing the recyclable materials, said Cristina Perez, co-chairwoman of the TAr Heel Recycling Pro gram.

McGee said plastic collection already had been affected because of limited markets. The OCRP now is collecting only two types of plastic milk jugs and soda bottles at its drop-off sites. The private contractors hired by the OCRP want to collect only the materi als that they can process and sell to multiple markets, she said. The federal government can help in crease the market for recyclable materi als, McGee said. "Hopefully, with the new adminis tration in, the nation will see a new turnaround for mandating more recycled materials and having more economic subsidies for plants and industries that use recycled materials." But the ultimate responsibility for increasing the market for recycled ma terials rests on the consumers because capitalism works on consumer demand, Perez said. "If (manufacturers) won't accept the materials, it's the responsi bility of the consumer to push the mar kets." 0 OTIVATED? a Solutions from your Apple Campus Reseller: The Apple Computer Loan. for 15 a ..ri r Macintosh.
