Wine enthusiasts filled the streets of Old Town La Verne Saturday evening from 5 to 8 p.m. as local restaurants offered wine, food and live music to those in attendance.
Upon returning to school earlier this month, University of La Verne students were exposed to something they had never seen before: a recycling program that is not only up and running, but actually benefiting the school.
Ever wonder if those recycling cans on campus actually serve a purpose? Well, they do. The University of La Verne's recycling program, led by Robert Beebe, assistant director of facilities management, is on the verge of expansion.
Americans throw away enough aluminum cans to rebuild our entire commercial air fleet every three months, and the number of glass bottles or jars U.S. citizens throw away could fill the 1,350-foot World Trade Center in New York every two weeks. The average American throws away four pounds of trash daily, which is twice as much as Europeans or Japanese generate, according to the ULV Recycles pamphlet distributed around campus.
