Several bottles of Hershey's chocolate

Exxon Valdez oil spill in the middle of
the Diag.
Student group EnAct put together this
creative display in 1999 to mark the 10th
anniversary of the largest oil spill in U.S.
history, just one of the group's efforts to
further environmental causes. During its
30-year history, EnAct has educated
thousands of' students on "green" issues
and protested dozens of companies with
poor environmental records.
The members frequently lug signs and
mailing materials out to the Diag in a red
Radio Fiyer wagon. Once there, they talk
to students about the issues and ask them
to sign postcards addressed to political
or corporate officials. These mailings
range from plastic bottles addressed to
Coca-Cola asking the company to keep
its recycling promises to postcards read-
ing "Save the Ferrets."
In addition to the group's staple activ-
ities - service days, mass mailings and
voter education - -EnAct hopes to cre-

Environmental group takes aim at ITD's brand ofpaper, 0o

EnAct. Chris Barbeau, ITD's manager
for marking engine technologies, said 16
million pages are printed every year at
campus computing sites.
The paper currently used at these sites
contains dioxins, byproducts of the chlo-
rine bleaching process that makes the
paper white. A few teaspoons of these
dioxins could contaminate all of the
Great Lakes, said EnAct facilitator
Steven Krieger, a junior in the Business
School.
After a three-year search, EnAct
members discovered Rolland New Life
DP 100, an alternate paper that uses
hydrogen peroxide instead of chlorine.
This brand also has other advantages
over the one used in campus computer
labs now
It is "100 percent post-consumer con-
tent, so every ounce of the paper has
already been recvcled," Krieger said.
EnAct members will meet with ITD
and the University's office supplies
buyer in the next two weeks to mount the
final hurdle of the campaign. The
University needs to ensure that the chlo-
rine-free paper will not generate a large
cost increase before ITD will agree to
switch. The paper currently used already
costs 5.08 cents per piece, while students
are charged just 5 cents. The new paper
would add a quarter cent per page to that
cost.
Once ITD has negotiated a discount
for the volume of paper they plan to pur-
chase from the manufacturer, ITD will
run a pilot test in January to see whether
the recycled paper is cost effective. This
will involve putting the current and pro-
posed paper brands in new printers at

sites and seeing how many paper jams
and other problems result in two to three
months. If the recycled paper causes
extra wear on the printer, that increases
costs for ITD and, consequently, stu-
dents.
"We would obviously like to be at the
forefront of the movement if we can do
so in a way that is cost efficient and
won't increase costs for students,"
Barbeau said.
Krieger and his fellow facilitators
have confidence that the new paper will
be cost efficient. They see this campaign
potentially leading to a campus-wide
change to the environmentally-conscious
brand of paper.
"If ITD will be the catalyst, I think the
departments will follow suit," Krieger
said.
If the campaign works, it will be
another addition to EnAct's list of suc-
-cesses. The group took part in the
nationwide boycott that convinced
Home Depot and Lowe's to phase out the
selling of old growth wood in the next
five vears.
"You get a chance to feel like you're
doing something important instead of
waiting to get out in the real world,"
facilitator Sara Kennedy, an LSA senior,
said of EnAct's impact.
The group focused on the national
Dirty Jobs boycott, now called Eco
Pledge, as its primary project last year.
This campaign enlists students to sign
forms stating they won't work for certain
companies with particularly poor envi-
ronmetital records until the corporations
meet certain standards. General Motors,
quit the Global Climate Coalition, an
organization that disputes the theory of
global warming, under the campaign's
pressure.
Closer to home. EnAct held boycotts
last year of the BP Amoco station on
North Campus to protest the company's
attempts to drill in the Arctic. This year's
team of facilitators plan to hold protests
at Staples due to the store's purchasing of
paper products .made from old growth
wood.
They also are investigating boycotts of
companies using genetically-modified
organisms, such as Nestle and Kellogg's.
When these corporations use crops that
are genetically engineered to maximize
food production, that can have a negative
impact on the environment. Animals
such as monarch butterflies die from eat-
ing genetically-modified corn, and the
