10 Tuesday. September 14, 1993 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Individual recycling can help the environment By Liz Klinger Kansan staff writer ( ) Kim Kennedy, Midland, Texas, senior, is one of many KU students concerned about the environment who realizes the difference one person can make by recycling. "I've been to a lot a lot of landfills and it's just kind of sad, all the trash that one person contributes," Kennedy said. Traci Sears, assistant environmental ombudsman at KU, said people in the United States generated an average of three to four pounds of garbage every day. "I think it's important for individuals to know that they make an impact on the total scheme of things," Sears said. Although individual recycling efforts may seem small, Sears said they have a significant impact. "It's hard for people to understand the connection between things." Sears said. "When each person does something little, it adds up." Sears said that students who are starting to recycle and conserve energy should focus on the simple things, such as putting aluminum and newspapers in the correct bins on campus. Other measures include reducing driving time, using cloth lunch bags, turning off the lights when leaving home, shutting off the water when brushing one's teeth, and reducing air conditioner and heat use. Diane Debinski, assistant professor of environmental studies, said products such as health and beauty aids, household cleaners and bulk foods could be purchased at local health food stores. These products tend to be less expensive because customers bring their own container, which eliminates the packaging cost placed on many retail items, Debinski said. Chris Stewart, manager of the Community Recycling Center at Wai Mart, 3300 Iowa St., said hundreds of people visit each day to recycle. "The reason I think we're doing so much recycling is that Lawrence is an ecologically aware community." Stewart said. Stewart said it was important that people begin developing a recycling system. Kansas landfills are already starting to close. "It won't be much longer before we don't have a choice to recycle," Stewart don't said. "We'll have to." Sears said books such as "The Recycler's Handbook" by The Earthworks Group and "You Can Make A Difference; Help Protect the Earth" by Judith Getis, would help new recyclers get started.

Kansan staff writer Christine Knepper, Chesterfield, Mo., sophomore and head of the KU Homeless Coalition, said she did not find out about the conference until yesterday knepper said that even if she had known about the conference, she did not know if members of the coalition would have attended it this early in the semester. "I think it might have been a little above our heads this early on," she said. "We haven't made it to the governmental level yet, but we do have plans for the future." future. She said the coalition plans to attend next year's conference with the goal of improving conditions in Lawrence. Even though we're a small group, I think we could still contribute our point of view from the Lawrence area," she said. The coalition is trying to organize campus volunteer activities this semester because the group is too small for much else. Kneper said. Kathleen Thomas, executive director of Cornerstone, a Toneke-based transitional organization for working homeless families, said that few local organizations were represented at the conference. "This was the first year for all of us," Thomas said. "Our main goal now is to work on getting funds in the government housing fund." Thomas said organizations such as Cornerstone and the KU Homeless Coalition could help push legislation through Kansas government that would appropriate money for the homeless. Tom Bishop, Kansas secretary of commerce and housing, said the main goal of the three-day Governor's conference, which started on Sunday, was to stimulate awareness of Kansas' homeless and to make housing improvements within the state. Jayhawkers who are jaywalkers need to find crosswalk Kansan staff writer By Scott J. Anderson Three KU students have been hit by vehicles while walking on campus this semester. KU police said that with a little caution others could avoid vehicle-pedestrian accidents. Rozmiraek said students must be "It always seems like we get more accidents in the fall," sad Sgt. Rose Rozmairek of KU police "Students have to get back into their old safety habits. It will usually slow down after a few weeks." aware of Lawrence's definition of a crosswalk and the responsibilities of pedestrians which may be different than those in their hometowns. Lawrence city ordinations define crosswalk as marked areas that connect sidewalks across intersection or other areas marked on the road. reestrelens often have a problem determining who has the right of way, said John Mullens, KU police safety and security officer. The city ordinance says a pedestrian must make an attempt to enter the roadway before a driver has to yield the right of way. It also says that a pedestrian cannot suddenly leave the curb and enter the road in a way that would create a hazard. According to police reports, that is what happened in the most recent vehicle-pedestrian accident. Christy Brown, Lake Quivira sophomore, was hit when she stepped off a curb on West Campus Road on Wednesday. She was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, treated and released. Brown was issued a citation for entering the roadway. But drivers are cited more often than pedestrians, for failure to yield the right of way. In the past three years, at least 58 such tickets have been issued, according to police records. In contrast, only two jaywalking citations have been issued in the same period. Mullens said that the number of crosswalks has decreased in the past several years, but that the campus could handle vehicle and pedestrian traffic flow. "Unfortunately, the only way to get people to use the crosswalk is to herd them toward it," he said. Congratulations new members!
