In Brief: Virtual Enterprise staff organizes recycling meeting

The Virtual Enterprise staff will hold a meeting on Monday, March 17 during fourth period in the school theater to coordinate a number of recycling efforts on campus. Seniors Karen Martinez and Mayra Ponce will lead the meeting.

Eric Lohela, recycling coordinator for the city of Santa Barbara came to the Virtual Enterprise class to help them towards their next competition, which is in the environmental division in Sacramento on March 26.

Out of Lohela’s meeting came the idea to coordinate the environmental efforts on campus. “Lots of students don’t recycle because they are not informed. We want to inform students... and invite (those) who have shown interest,” Ponce explained.

A Polar bear is the mascot for the recycling campaign because of the link between polar bears and the Coca-Cola commercials. It is hoped to catch people’s attention.

Students who wish to attend must first get teacher approval and contact Ponce and Martinez in room 22.
