CITIZEN'S ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL A Avenue and 1st St., N. E. Cedar Rapids Saturday 9 a.m.-6 p.m. They will take glass, aluminum and paper. The class must be thoroughly rinsed, with all metals removed (like around the rim) and will be sorted by color. Aluminum (foil, plates and some soft drink and beer cans--with the rounded bottms) must be rinsed, and the paper must be bundled or sacked. RECYCLING BOTTLES AND CANS Beth Blakeman, 626-2510 is trying to organize regular collections of bottles and cans, and trips to Cedar Rapids. Call her if you can help. VOLUNTEERS FOR CITIZENS FOR RECYCLING Conducts Saturday newspaper collections. They need more volunteers, trucks and twine. Persons with papers to be collected or wishing to donate time or equipment, call Hal Emalfarb, 351-0371. For every ton of newspaper and other paper products that are recycled, seventeen trees will be saved. RECYCLED PAPER John Leslie Paper Company 1912 Grand Ave., West Des Moines, Iowa 50304 A large variety of 100% recycled paper in beautiful colors and textures. Write to them for samples. REVOLUTIONARY LETTER =2 Diane DiFrima The value of an individual life a credo they taught us to instil fear, and inaction, 'you only live once' a foe in our eyes, we are endless as the sea, not separate, we die a million times a day, we are born a million times, each breath life and death: get up, put on your shoes, get started, someone will finish Tribe in oranism, one flesh, breathing joy as the stars breathe destiny down on us, get going, join hands, see to business, thousands of sons will see to it when you fall, you will grow a thousand times in the bellies of your sisters gardening FOUR SEASONS GARDEN CLUB Mrs. Bessie Hagist Box 603 645-2280 They are interested in the culture and identification of wild and cultivated plants, flower arranging and the study and feeding of wild birds. Meets once a month at people's homes. MULCH GARBAGE My original plan for mulching the garden this summer was to borrow a truck and get old hay. That fell through and I happened on another way. Every Wednesday morning, before the garbage trucks could get them, I spent an hour carrying bags of grass clippings and leaves from around the neighborhood back to the house. It worked very well- grass clippings are high in nitrogen. In terms of health and ecology none of that excellent earth food should ever reach the city landfall. There it's bulldozed tens of feet underground where it will do no one any good for centuries. It should be left where it falls, on the lawn, but if that is objectionable to some it can at least be put on the garden, raked around flower beds or the base of trees. That can eliminate the insane cycle of stripping the land of all natural food, wondering why it then dies, and using chemical fertilizer to keep it going. Dan Cheeseman PROJECT GREEN Civit Center, Washington and Gilbert Nancy Seiberling 351-5625 A ciizen's action group trying to make Iowa City a more beautiful place to live. They improve the city landscape by providing the materials and labor to have plants, shrubs and trees planted along the streets and highways. They also implemented the 48 bikeways in town. MORE GARBAGE A lot of things are set out for the garbage truck that you might find useful. For example: lumber, furniture, clothing, cloth material. It might be worth following a garbage route one morning. This summer I saw bushels and bushels of apples and black walnuts set out with the garbage and they shared the same fate as the grass clippings. Even the squirrels were left short as the nuts were raked up as soon as they fell. Take a bike ride around your neighborhood and locate the trees. Ask whoever lives there if you can have the fruit [unclear] aren't going to use it themselves. PAGE 26
