The 15 students of the high school's environmental club, SAVE, or Students Against Violation of the Earth, are participating in a recycling campaign sponsored by TerraCycle, a Trenton-based company that "upcycles" trash and turns it into reusable items that are sold at stores like Target, Walmart and Home Depot. The students are encouraging the whole district and even residents to participate in the campaign which started Friday and runs through Dec. 15. SAVE adviser Donna Pancari said the competition is open to all public schools in New Jersey and could net the district a hefty prize. A total of $125,000 will be awarded to the six schools that collect the most garbage with the first-place prize being $50,000. Winners will be announced in January.

With faculty making creative use of interoffice mail to band together for the environment, the staff at Scripps Research Institute is collecting their old wine corks to raise money for The Nature Conservancy. The organization gets 2 cents for each cork that the institute collects and returns to a company called TerraCycle, which makes affordable, eco-friendly products from packaging waste.
