students and staff are being
joined by 76 groups for Earth-
Day II. One of the most visi-
ble is the Ecology Center of
Ann Arbor. "We began, along
with 20 other ecology centers
that were established across
the nation, 20 years ago," says
Rebecca Kantor, Earth Day
and membership coordinator
for the center.
Only four of those centers
survive, but the Ann Arbor
center has "grown tremen-
dously," says Kantor. "We're
setting records for participa-
tion rates." With 2,000
members, a budget of more
than $1 million and a host of
programs, the center is even
beginning to have political
clout. On April 2, Ann Arbor
citizens will vote on a $28.2
million bond proposal that
would fund recycling and
landfill programs. The center
has been actively pushing for
the proposal.
The Ann Arbor Recycling
coalition says the city can
recover 35,000 tons of
recyclable material per year
and reduce the amount of gar-
bage sent to the city's landfill

The students on the steer-
ing committee had different
reasons for getting directly
involved with ecological
issues. For Bettigole, it began
with a day spent in the White
Mountains of New Hamp-
shire. "We were hiking on Mt.
Washington and when we got
to the top it was a concrete
jungle," he recalls. "There
was this incredible beauty
and it was tainted."
For Rosenfeld, acting in the
play Hair and taking a class
called "Biology and Human
Affairs" opened her eyes.
Oleinick recalls a drive a
few years ago, with Israeli
friends, to the Tel Aviv gar-
bage dump.. "While we were
driving back in the car, my
friends threw their garage
out the window," says
Oleinick. She protested and
had her friends return to the
dump and deposit their
refuse.
"They said to me: If you
could make us do that then
you could make others," says
Oleinick. She believes Israel
is 10 years behind the United
States in environmental
awareness. ❑
