Prominent U.S. companies to use recycled materials
BOSTON — More than 20 companies, including McDonald's Corp., Coca-Cola Co. and Sears, Roebuck and Co., launched a national campaign yesterday to encourage U.S. businesses to buy recycled goods.

A business alliance for the National Recycling Coalition hopes to recruit 5,000 small and large businesses to commit themselves to buy recycled products.
"This will help pull material through the recycling loop rather than push it through," said Phil Bailey, coordinator of the alliance.
Steve Morrow, recycling manager for Coca-Cola, said the effort was the first by a diverse group of U.S. corporations to create a market for recyclables.
The alliance will conduct programs around the country to show businesses how they can buy recycled goods and use them in daily operations. The effort will include a database that informs businesses where, for example, they might buy memo pads made of recycled paper.
As a first step, the member companies surveyed their organizations and found $2.7 billion worth of materials
they use, either for internal purposes — such as office supplies — or to make their products contain recycled goods. The survey of alliance members also found other examples:
Cracker Barrel restaurants not only use recycled paper in menus but also use recycled construction material.
American Airlines uses recycled paper for napkins and tissue.
Bank of America uses recycled paper for automated teller receipts and envelopes.
Among other members of the alliance are 3M Co., Anheuser-Busch Inc., Du Pont Co., United Parcel Service, James River Corp. and Safeway Inc.
The National Recycling Coalition, which helped form the alliance, is a non-profit group with 3,600 members, including recycling organizations, environmental groups, state and local governments and large and small businesses. It is holding a conference this week in Boston.
McDonald's has attracted national attention for its plans to buy recycled materials for restaurant construction and use recycled materials to eliminate most of its garbage.
Astronauts monitor fertilized frog eggs

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
Endeavour's astronauts marveled over the weightless aquatics of wriggling tadpoles yesterday as they awaited the results of their own frogfertilizing efforts.
Until this shuttle mission, no creature other than an insect had been fer-
Scientists expect the eggs of the shuttle's quarter-pound, brownish-green passengers — South African clawed frogs — to hatch by this afternoon. The crew collected eggs from four frogs and squirred the eggs of two frogs with sperm.
The female frogs were taking it easy after a busy few days.
"They're just stretching out and relaxing and enjoying the flight," said Paul Callahan, chief of the science operations branch at NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif.
The translucent tadpoles on board were fertilized on the ground a day before the laboratory research mission began Saturday, and they developed in orbit. Yesterday, they darted, swam rapidly in circles or floated, tails wrigling, inside two flasks. Researcher,忍 Suzwa, was sur-
pirsed by the flurry of activity, which pore no resemblance to tadpole action on Earth. He expected the tadpoles to remain still or do forward flips, based on tests conducted in planes that provide brief bursts of weightlessness.
Researcher Ken Souza was sur-
Also aboard Endeavour are two carp, 7,600 fruit flies, 180 Oriental hornets and 30 fertilized chicken eggs, all Japanese experiments.
"They were swimming in backward somersaults, forward somersaults," he said. "Some froze. Some swam normally. We had a real hodgepodge of swimming behavior from these tads, and that was really unexpected."
