      Rod
      Williams,
      a
      fourth
     
     
      year
      engineering
      student
     
     
      from
      Winsloe,
      says
      he
      often
     
     
      hangs
      on
      to
      most
      of
      his
      notes.
     
     
      “Before
      paper
      gets
      thrown
     
     
      out,
      it’s
      always
      covered
      —
     
     
      side
      to
      side.”
     
    

    
     
      But
      this
      does
      not
      mean
     
     
      that
      paper
      necessarily
      avoids
     
     
      the
      landfill
      fate.
     
    

    
     
      “Whenever
      I’m
      on
     
     
      campus,
      I
      use
      the
      blue
      boxes,
     
     
      but
      we
      don’t
      have
      a
      recycling
     
     
      program
      at
      home,”
      Williams
     
    
   
   
    
     
      continues.
     
    

    
     
      Silva
      is
      of
      the
      opinion
     
     
      that
      Charlottetown
      could
     
     
      benefit
      from
      having
      a
      recy-
     
     
      cling
      program
      like
      the
      one
      in
     
     
      Summerside.
     
    

    
     
      “It
      does
      so
      much
      to
     
     
      help,”
      she
      says.
      “But
      people
     
     
      need
      to
      be
      informed
      first
      in
     
     
      order
      to
      cooperate.”
      She
      also
     
     
      pointed
      out
      that
      in
      Montreal
     
     
      where
      they
      have
      the
      program,
     
     
      it’s
      very
      simple
      to
      follow.

      eight
