Community Involvement #1

Growing up, my family was known for being as environmentally friendly as possible. One of my jobs at home was to make sure to bring out anything recyclable and sort the recyclables into their proper place.

When I moved into my dorm room in Isla Vista, I decided to continue the tradition. It was tough at first to get my other roommates involved, but when I told them we can turn in our cans and bottles for refunds they began to follow my plan, because we definitely go through a lot of aluminum cans. I set up a large bin in our common room so it would be real easy to just toss a can in. I also tried to set up a paper recycling
