Reuse, reduce and recycle.Thatis whatall ofthe peoplewho love the earth say. Thishasbeenthecatchymooandtheme for earth lovers every-where. OnApril 22,1970, over20millionpeoplecollectedinsmalltowns and major cities acrossthe United States in an eventthat is generally credited with

the most impactful wayto engageyouth aboutenvironmental issuesis through environ-mental education.For example, stu-dents involved inEarth Day Networkprograms are recycling,schoolsarebecomingmoreen-ergyecientandgovernmentsarepassing legislation liketheUnitedStatesNoChildLeIn-sideAct,thepressreleasesays.

Some GREEN facts Statistically, the United States recycles just about 28 percent
of its waste today, which is double from what it was a decade ago.
The Hershey Company produces about 20,000,000 kisses
each day using 133 square miles of aluminum to wrap them in.
This material is recyclable and most of it ends up in the trash rath-
er than the recycle bin.
Mount Rumpke is the highest point in Ohio at over 1,000 feet,
its no Mount Everest; however. Mount Everest is not made up en-
tirely of garbage. Mount Rumpke is literally a mountain of trash
and is located in the Rumpke landll.
The rate of the rain forests destruction is 100 acres per minute.
Just one quart of motor oil that is disposed of improperly cancontaminate up to 2,000,000 gallons of fresh water. Motor oil gets
dirty but does not wear out. Oil can be recycled by re-rening the
oil. It can be used again and again and can help to reduce our
dependence on foreign oil.

about.
Kirk came into being 50 years ago and soon found him-
self employed as an American secret agent, spying mainly in
Russian clothing stores during the Cold War. Since the down-fall of the USSR, Kirk decided to return to high school and live
a normal life.
Kirk likes practical jokes, Tiger Pride, girls and dancing.
A regular attendee of sporting events, Kirk lost his hand to a
raging crowd of Skyliners at a basketball game. His recovery
is going smoothly, and he has been outtted with a hook to
replace his stolen extremity.
Although he has reached graduation age, Kirk plans to
stay in Idaho Falls, under the care of a trusted junior, yet to be
decided. Kirk, although immobile, is poised to take over the
world, using his charming looks, dashing hair, and winning
personality.
Editor of extraordinaryexuberance and exigentexpertise, I want to applaudalloftheIFHSstudentswho wore orange andblack on Feb. 5. Thosedonuts sure were deli-cious, too. The Tiger
