Who would’ve thought that the recession would hit Ohio so hard that it would give half of Ohioans amnesia? It’s sad, but true. Or at least that’s what the polls appear to prove. It’s been just a few years since the failed economic policies of President George W. Bush brought us the biggest financial and economic meltdown since the Great Depression, and yet Ohio is poised to elect one of Bush’s economic gurus for senator and a Wall Street insider for governor – the very same type of people that got us into this mess. Of course, I’m talking about Rob Portman and John Kasich, AP Tea bags adorn the hat of Tea Party Express supporter Kiss Anderson of California, who was attending a rally the Republican candidates for Ohio senator and governor, to kick off the Tea Party Express bus tour on Oct. 18 in Reno, Nev. respectively.

Recycling goes blue I ’ m Yes, now we’ll so glad we’re have a bright future as John Carroll University will distribute new, blue recycling bins around going to be placed plastic grocery bags! campus in an effort to improve recycling efforts on campus. in the right bins from Coca-Cola donated 100 large recycling containers as part of the now on! beverage contract it signed with John Carroll University earlier this year, and JCU will provide smaller bins, as well. The new bins, both in individual dorm rooms and throughout campus buildings, will reduce the effort students need to apply when recycling. Recycling will become more accessible to the JCU community. They are also proof that the University is working to rectify problems with the existing recycling program by ensuring that the new bins are distinguishable from trash receptacles. The campus Sustainability Committee must supplement the new bins with a campaign to inform students, faculty, staff and administrators about how to sort recyclable material and how sustainability relates to social justice. This should begin immediately. The University should not wait to distribute the bins to students in the residence halls. The resources are in place to improve recycling efforts on campus now, and the University should begin the process of reorganizing the trash rooms before their tentative plan to do so over winter break. The University could make preparations to one dorm at a time and “ adjust the implementation as it sees fit. There is no need to continue to operate with the existing recycling program when more effective and efficient means are available.
